The goal of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that all migrant students reach challenging academic standards and graduate with a high school diploma (or complete a HSED) that prepares them for responsible citizenship, further learning, and productive employment. This website provides information, tools, and resources to promote the interstate coordination of migrant programs.

The National PASS Program provides a successful option to migrant programs seeking flexibility for their students. Many schools use PASS because courses may not be offered when a student needs them. Courses may be used to make up failed credits, to remediate in basic subjects, to assist with dropout recovery, or to offer elective credit. Students do not need to access a computer or the internet to complete a course, but there are options for students who choose to do so. Students can work on PASS courses during the school year or summer. Courses are aligned to common core standards. PASS consists of self-contained, semi-independent study courses. The program is provided by the National PASS Coordinating Committee comprised of migrant educators across the country and is used in more than 25 states.

North Dakota's summer migrant programs take place out of Grafton and Manvel, North Dakota. Students attend classes in June and July. Oscar attended Manvel Migrant School every summer.

This homeless directory lists contacts for state coordinators, liaisons, Head Start collab offices, and higher ed liaisons.
Awareness and Training Resources
Under federal law (the McKinney-Vento Act), every local educational agency (LEA) is required to designate a liaison for children and youth experiencing homelessness. LEA homeless liaisons have ten specific duties under the law, one of which is to provide professional development and other support to school personnel. Training school staff is essential in order for children and youth experiencing homelessness to be identified and to receive the education that is their surest path out of homelessness and poverty.
LEA McKinney-Vento Homelessness Policy Checklist
This checklist is intended to assist local educational agencies in evaluating their own policies. It should be utilized for collaborative reviews with other LEA staff, aimed at identifying components within McKinney-Vento compliance and highlighting areas that may require policy adjustments and improvements in LEA practices.

SchoolHouse Connection receives many questions from educators, service providers, and the public about the education and care of children and youth experiencing homelessness. We respond to every question we receive, citing applicable law and policy. In order to assist people who may have similar questions, we feature many of the questions and answers on this web page.
American Rescue Plan-Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY)
American Rescue Plan - Homeless Children and Youth, or ARP-HCY funds, are uniquely flexible one-time funds that can help meet many urgent needs. SchoolHouse Connection has compiled resources to help state and local educational agencies make the most of this historic opportunity to serve some of our nation's most vulnerable students.

Rescue-Assess-Place (RAP) is the first step of admission into our residential recovery program. Through a structured 7-day program, we assess women who are motivated for change and place them in the best solution pathway for their situation.

For most, this is the very first time they've honestly assessed their situation and had help developing a plan to break destructive cycles.

During RAP, they receive case management services, a health assessment, basic life skills and access to classes so they can get a taste of what residential recovery would be like at Phoenix Rescue Mission. Those that do not enter our program are referred to partner agencies for help.

The program consists of both, a recovery plan plus an aftercare program:

Phase 1: Foundations is the first step on the road to recovery. This phase runs for a minimum of 2 months after a person comes through our RAP program. During this time, women are introduced to basic recovery principles and begin classes which include: 12-Step Recovery, anger management, parenting classes, and basic life skills needed to develop the necessary commitment for Christ-centered recovery.

Phase 2: Intensive Residential Discipleship is a minimum 5-month residential program that takes women through 3 stages of recovery, plus vocational development - Inner Healing, Discipleship, and Job Attainment. Women participate in classes and counseling to analyze destructive thought patterns and behaviors, to address damaged relationships and commit to making amends, and to regain control and accountability to self and others. They assess their gifts, talents, and experience that they can bring to a new life in recovery. Skills assessments, computer classes, and job search training are offered at the end of this phase.

Phase 3: Our Advanced Programs run for a minimum of 5 months and feature three options for women to prepare for independence.

Option 1: The New Start track offers support for pursuing and maintaining employment.

Option 2: The Servant Leadership track prepares clients for moving into Christian leadership via mentorship and service responsibilities.

Option 3: Intensive Re-Entry is an alternative track for eligible individuals who are legally married, have legal mandates, or health impairments.

Aftercare is a minimum 6-month phase of continued support for women who have graduated from the program. Women are required to complete their aftercare contract, to complete monthly progress reports, and participate in the program's Alumni Association.

The Changing Lives Center is a safe place.

Women live in secure, apartment-style housing with access to childcare as they receive counseling, life skills education, and career assistance. Just ask Charity.

Support the Changing Lives Center

The demand for services to women and children is growing rapidly. We've gone from serving 22 women and 20 children in 2011 when the Changing Lives Center first opened, to nearly 100 women and 36 children in the past year - and so many more families need help. Support them with a gift today!

Volunteer at the Changing Lives Center

There are a number of ways you can help out at the CLC, especially as a teacher's assistant or as a childcare helper. Rock a baby, teach a tot his ABCs, read to a toddler. We also need certified personal trainers and/or aerobics instructors to teach classes.

Population served: up to 15 youth ages 16 to 18 and 5 accompanying babies/toddlers

Average number of youth served yearly: 30

Tumbleweed's Young Adults Program (Y.A.P.) provides a safe place to live for homeless or runaway youth who have no other financial support or place to live. These young people have no viable family to support them and rarely are wards of the court. Youth receive independent living training, counseling, job development and skill building. Skill building is designed to help the youth learn to live independently and includes employment and parenting skills as well as a focus on increasing education level. Youth can be pregnant or parenting and can stay up to two years.

This is the only facility in Maricopa County providing these comprehensive Independent Living Services for youth under 18 that do not require the youth to be State wards. Minors must have parental permission.

Success Story: YAP Client

"I love living at YAP. I have more opportunity here than I have had anywhere else. The bus system was hard to figure out when I first got here, but living at YAP I have learned the system out in no time. I wanted to live in a place that was safe for me and my daughter, YAP turned out to be more than that. They have staff that I can talk to and that always are here to listen. At the young age of sixteen, I am already in college and I love it. I have my very own apartment, which I have learned to keep clean and be responsible for. I have become more social, even meeting new clients that come in right away. Shane found me a GED class that I have leaned to enjoy daily. Carl does a great job at listening and doing everything he can to make bad situations better. I was given a chance to be apart of a good community and I am going to make the best of it. My daughter is now seven months and it is nice to know she grew up at YAP. There are other children at YAP so she gets to interact with other babies. I just was to say thank you for giving me a chance to express how I feel about living at YAP." - YAP CLIENT S.J.

VISTA COLINA: Emergency Family Shelter

After a car accident, Marcella was unable to work and was evicted from her apartment.

She came to Vista Colina with her two young boys in late August. Staff worked with Marcella and, as her broken bones healed, she focused on finding a new job. Luckily, Vista Colina has an accredited child development program so parents like Marcella can look for employment and work without having to worry about their children. Case managers helped Marcella get a job at the airport, assisted her with transportation vouchers, food and clothing so she could save enough money to get back into her own place. We are happy to report, that Marcella and her kids are in their new apartment.

VISTA COLINA: Child Development Center

Reversing the impact of homelessness of young children

She cried uncontrollably and constantly...

When two-year-old "Kylie" enrolled in Vista Colina's Child Development Center, she suffered from separation anxiety far beyond that experienced by most children her age. She cried uncontrollably and constantly asked for her mother after being dropped off at the center.

Kylie's teacher, who is well-educated in the kinds of trauma children who are homeless experience, as well as their reactions to trauma, gently redirected the child to the reading/quiet area where she calmly read the book, "I'll Always Come Back" to Kylie. The story, combined with the teacher's understanding approach, helped Kylie calm to the point where she was able to play in one of the center's many learning areas.

However, each time there was a transition to a new activity such as lunch or outdoors play, Kylie would again experience anxiety. Her teacher would patiently repeat the reading ritual. This ritual continued every day, throughout the day, for a week. At the beginning of her second week, Kylie demonstrated tremendous progress when she announced to the teacher that her "mommy would be back for her later." With help from her teacher, Kylie had learned how to calm and reassure herself. She now understood that her mother would be back and that she could play and learn in the meantime. Because Kylie now felt safe and secure in her surroundings and with her teacher, she was able to begin potty training. In less than a month she graduated from pull-ups and into underwear, leaving her developmentally on track and ready to enter the next phase of preschool.

Quality First Five-Star Rating from First Things First - only 6% of child care centers in Arizona receive this rating!

Homeless Shelter Listings and Supportive Housing

Arizona List of housing resources we have uncovered: Homeless Shelters, Supportive Housing, Halfway Housing, Transitional Housing, Day Shelters, Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers.

Choose your city in Arizona below:

Types of Shelters and Services we provide

We provide many categories of shelter for those in need and in need of services. They include:

Day Shelters supplement homeless and low-income people when the shelter their staying in only offers shelter on an overnight basis. Case management is often provided and sometimes there are laundry and shower facilities. Meals and basic hygiene may also be offered. Almost all day shelters provide their services free of charge. Any emergency or homeless shelter that allows clients to stay during the day is also classified under this category.

Emergency Homeless Shelters both provide short term relief for the homeless & low-income. Usually there is a maximum stay of 3 months or less. Many of these shelters ask their clients to leave during the day. Meals and other supportive services are often offered. 3 times out of 5 these shelters offer their services free of charge.

Halfway Housing helps transition individuals and families from shelters or homelessness to permanent housing. Length of stay is usually anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Residents are often required to pay at least 30% of their income toward program fees. Sometimes the money they pay in fees is returned to them when they leave. Any emergency or homeless shelter that allows their clients to stay more then 6 months is also classified under this category.

Permanent Affordable Housing is a long-term solution for housing. Residents are often allowed to stay as long as they remain in the low-income bracket but is sometimes limited 3 - 5 years. Residents pay no more then 30% of their income toward rent. Emergency shelters, homeless shelters and transitional housing programs that allow their clients to stay without a maximum stay is also classified under this category.

Drug And Alcohol Rehab programs are intended to treat alcohol and/or drug dependency. The cost of participating in one of these programs and the method of treatment range significantly. The database operated on this website only includes residential rehab programs (not outpatient programs). We also provide Access to Recovery (ATR) Grant programs for substance abuse treatment.

Financial Help For the Needy If you are needy and looking for financial help, check out FinancialHelpResources.com.

Supportive Housing Programs that provide an alternative living arrangement for individuals who, because of age, disability, substance abuse, mental illness, chronic homelessness or other circumstances, are unable to live independently without care, supervision and/or support to help them in the activities of daily living; or who need access to case management, housing support, vocational, employment and other services to transition to independent living.

Shared Housing Programs helps bring low income persons together and helps prevent homelessness by providing affordable housing options. This service is good for families, disabled persons, and others wanted more companionship. ShelterListings.org finds these shared housing locations and lists them throughout our website.

Rooming House or Boarding House A rooming house is a building in which renters occupy single rooms and share kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas. The location may be a converted single family home, a converted hotel, or a purpose built structure. Rooming houses may have as few as three rooms for rent, or more than a hundred. The same goes for boarding houses. We list these types of residences throughout ShelterListings.org.

Transitional housing is affordable supportive housing designed to provide housing and appropriate support services to persons who are homeless or who are close to homelessnessness. The transition is to help them be more self sufficience to move toward independent living on their own. Services provided at transitional housing facilities varies from substance abuse treatment, to psychological assistanc, job training, domestic violence assistance, etc. The assistance provided varies, but it is generally affordable and low cost housing. Read the descriptions of each of the transitional living locations for more detailed information.

Are you in need ?

In the United States, nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men report experiencing domestic violence at some point in their lives. In addition, 1 in 15 children are exposed to domestic violence each year.

Empowering Individuals, Strengthening Communities.
Community Alliance Against Family Abuse (CAAFA)'s mission is to empower individuals, families, and communities to be free from abuse through collaboration, prevention, awareness, and support. Our agency was founded in 1998 by community members who were confronted by the tragic reality that local victims of domestic violence and their children were living in their cars and out in the desert because they had nowhere to go. CAAFA has grown substantially since then, now serving victims of domestic and sexual violence from Pinal and eastern Maricopa Counties. We provide a 16-bed emergency shelter, support groups, legal advocacy, case management, sexual assault victim advocacy, nutritional support through food boxes, community outreach services, and more.

Articles - Good topics for articles include anything related to your company - recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game - or the industry you're in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

Company policies - Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

Last year, more than 22,000 people in Maricopa County were homeless, and one in seven Arizonans struggled with hunger. That's why more than 50,000 meals are provided each month at Paz de Cristo, and we don't stop there. We give people a hand so that they can get back on their feet.

Motherhood is one big job. Choosing healthy foods while pregnant, learning how to breastfeed, finding the right doctors for yourself and your children, and getting those kids ready to learn in school really does take a lot. WIC staff will help you find important referrals to other community resources like places your child can receive immunizations. WIC helps provide healthy foods for your family.

Solari (formerly Crisis Response Network) created the 211 Eviction Prevention App in in order to help tenants that may be worried about or facing an eviction. The app is available in both English and Spanish and asks questions like "Are you experiencing a COVID-19-related financial hardship?", "Are you currently experiencing homelessness?", "Do you currently owe rent to your landlord?", and "Have you received a notice from your landlord for nonpayment of rent?". Depending on the answers to these questions, you will receive a link to a tailored report that will walk you through the steps you need to take in order to protect your housing or get connected with a shelter.

The app continues to be updated with local and federal changes and can be found here:
