School district

• The network supports United Way's goals of helping people meet basic needs, move toward financial stability and build for success in school and in life.
• To celebrate National Digital Inclusion Week, Comcast also donated a total of 300 laptops – 100 each – to Literacy Pittsburgh, Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania and YWCA of Westmoreland County to support their local efforts.
• These initiatives are part of Project UP – Comcast's $1 billion commitment to advance digital equity and its longstanding commitment to bridge the digital divide.
• The model for these networks is the United Way Digital Navigator Network in Philadelphia that was developed through a grant from PHLConnectED , the City's initiative to provide free Internet access to pre-K–12 students in need.

• During the 2021-2022 school year, the most recent data available, the School District of Philadelphia identified 4,675 children as homeless.
• Pennsylvania lags other states in identifying youth who are homeless, and data collected for the 2018-2019 school year suggests Philadelphia in particular underreports.
• Schools struggle to identify students who are homeless for a variety of reasons, as a recent study in Detroit makes clear.

Know your rights

• In Pennsylvania, 65% of students experiencing homelessness live in doubled-up situations – sharing housing temporarily with other people.
• This includes living in cramped apartments with other families, or regularly moving between friends’ or relatives’ houses.
• They can receive free transportation to and from their current school even if they move out of the district.
• The Philadelphia school district has an Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities specifically designed to help students understand their rights, including supporting students experiencing homelessness.

What parents can do

• To increase the likelihood for a successful school year, parents can take these steps: 1.
• Contact the school’s homeless liaison: It’s important for parents to inform the school’s liaison of their family’s housing status and if they have moved.
• Decide who else should know: Liaisons will keep information about students’ housing status confidential unless parents want them to inform the child’s teachers or other school personnel.
• They can connect parents and students with the homeless liaison and resources within the school and in the community.
• Request electronic records: Parents should try to save all emails that contain educational records from any school their child attended each year.
