More than one in four children in the U.S. are chronically absent from school, and in the city of Dayton, the number is double. These children experience lower academic achievement in the near term and less financial success in the future.
Learn to Earn Dayton was recently featured in an article from Enterprise Community Partners on "Learnings from the Student Eviction Prevention Community of Practice." The nine-month community of practice initiative helped develop a part of our ongoing eviction prevention continuum that begins with identifying students whose families are at risk for eviction, using publicly available court data matched with student roster data.
Once families are identified through the data system, they are connected with our ongoing Access to Counsel initiative providing free legal services to those facing eviction. Families with legal representation at eviction hearings are exponentially more likely to have a positive outcome, reducing trauma and housing instability.
