Description

In this module, students will learn about the impact of homelessness and housing insecurity on child development. This topic is large, and instructors may consider focusing the scope on a particular arena of child development (e.g., academic vs. psychosocial outcomes). Students will learn about which children are at risk for experiencing homelessness and why, as well as the effect of experiencing homelessness on particular aspects of child development. Students will consider the value of including examples of those experiencing homelessness in child-directed media, such as Sesame Street.
