Murphy (education, Vanderbilt U.) and Tobin, a PhD student in education at Vanderbilt U., examine the plight of homeless students in the US. After detailing the concept of homelessness, its history, and demographics, they describe its effects on children and youth, including living conditions, risks, and physical, emotional, social, and educational impacts, and ways to combat it by addressing poverty, increasing access to low-income housing, and providing social services. They end with discussion of the role of schools in helping students overcome the negative effects of homelessness and ensuring successful educational experiences and outcomes, including description of the legal framework and barriers to access.
