Housing Stability for School Success Toolkit

This framework has been piloted with DISD since 2021-22 on two elementary campuses working with district administrators.

  • This toolkit was designed to equip school district staff to implement family-centered interventions for families that may be at risk of or currently experiencing a housing-related issue.
  • The toolkit includes open-source resources (e.g., family enrollment postcards) and data tools that can be adapted by local school districts and nonprofit organizations working with housing insecure families.
