For families experiencing homelessness, managing the back-to-school runaround can feel impossible.

The never-ending documentation and registration forms, countless trips to the store for school supplies, and, of course, vaccinations and physicals.

This school year, you can help families navigate the process and make sure children can get back to the classroom.
