There are two major institutions supporting California's students facing homelessness, the California Department of Education (CDE) and Continuum of Cares (CoCs). CDE oversees public education and holds local educational agencies accountable for student achievement. CoCs are the regional or local branch that coordinates homelessness funding for services and housing. The integration of both of these agencies is vital to fully supporting homeless students and their families. This research explores how housing and education services can better align to meet the comprehensive needs of students facing homelessness to truly support the opportunity to stay and succeed in school. Specifically, this research will highlight: (1) Data collected by CDE and CoCs, demonstrating data misalignment and the need for enhanced data collaboration between these agencies; (2) The newly available dwelling-type data released by CDE to explore areas of most need for students facing homelessness; and (3) Explore strategies for increased alignment and improved services for students facing homelessness.
