Abstract
The focus of this Capstone project is on reaching homeless youth during this time of distance learning. Student homelessness is an issue because it is harder for teachers to reach them than a student with stable living conditions. According to the scholarly literature, schools are struggling to reach homeless students during the pandemic due to their lack of an address, wifi, and/or in-person interactions with their teachers. An argument is made that if schools identify students’ challenges, they can provide adequate resources. Upon interviewing the assistant principal, school counselor, who has access to students and their emotional needs, and a teacher, who has taught kindergarten and fourth grade, at an elementary school, three possible solutions emerged as ways to address the issue presented. Based on the data, an action was chosen as the most effective option for reaching homeless youth during COVID-19.
