Description
Welcome to today’s episode, “On the Corner of Homelessness & Education ”. Hosts Joe Ader and Emma Hughes welcome guest Barbara Duffield, Executive Director of SchoolHouse Connection, to discuss the intersection of education and homelessness. They will explore how the end of homelessness is rooted in education.
Homelessness is a complex issue. We don’t claim to explore every part of this intersection, but hope that each conversation brings new clarity to the reality as a whole. Please keep an open, curious mindset as you listen, and seek to learn, just as we are.
