CE Course Description

New research supports the idea that housing and family instability are related, and families who stay in emergency shelter have dynamic family structures.  This CE course examines the extent to which parents were separated from their children or adult partners during a stay in emergency shelter, whether family separations while in a shelter are associated with additional housing instability following the shelter stay, how younger children whose families had recently experienced homelessness compare to national norms, and benefit receipt while families were in shelter.
