My New Red Shoes(Burlingame, CA) Homelessness is a serious and growing problem for American children. In San Francisco alone, approximately 1,300 school-aged children experience homelessness each year. This situation has a devastating effect on a child?s education; youth who have experienced homelessness are twice as likely to repeat a grade as other children and are at much higher risk of not attending school, ultimately increasing their chances of repeating the cycle of homelessness in the future. National and local homelessness organizations have repeatedly identified a lack of school clothing as one of the barriers to education for homeless youth both because it is a basic need, and since children feel reluctant to attend school without suitable clothing. By filling this gap, My New Red Shoes increases the likelihood that homeless children will attend and succeed in school while directing precious community resources toward surmounting other barriers to education, including inadequate funding for school supplies, transportation, and family counseling as well as a lack of human resources for tutoring and other volunteer programs that support homeless youth at school. |
