Desc	ADDRESSING STUDENT HOMELESSNESS: IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, HIGHER GROUND CONTINUED TO PLAY A LEAD ROLE IN THE FAMILY-LED STABILITY INITIATIVE (FLSI), FOLLOWING CONCLUSION OF ITS PILOT PHASE IN JULY 2021 AND EXPANDING FROM SEVEN SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING IN THE PILOT PHASE TO 20 SCHOOLS IN THE NEXT PHASE OF THE INITIATIVE. FLSI IS A COLLABORATION INCLUDING REPRESENTATIVES OF THE BPS, BOSTON'S MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING, FORMERLY THE DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT (DND), BOSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY (BHA) AND THREE OTHER NONPROFIT PARTNERS - DUDLEY STREET NEIGHBORHOOD INITIATIVE (DSNI), PROJECT HOPE AND NEW LEASE FOR HOMELESS FAMILIES - TO ADDRESS THE GROWING CHALLENGE OF HOMELESS CHILDREN IN BOSTON SCHOOLS. THE INITIATIVE'S PILOT PHASE WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 2018 WITH AN INITIAL FOCUS ON SEVEN BOSTON SCHOOLS INCLUDING HIGGINSON K-2 FULL INCLUSION, DAVID A. ELLIS K-5, HIGGINSON LEWIS K-8, WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER K-8, DUDLEY STREET NEIGHBORHOOD CHARTER SCHOOL, ORCHARD GARDENS K-8 AND DEARBORN STEM ACADEMY. DURING THE 42 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH, FLSP HOUSED 202 FAMILIES WITH 295 CHILDREN ATTENDING THE SEVEN SCHOOLS AND 35 SIBLINGS ATTENDING OTHER SCHOOLS. ALTHOUGH WE EXCEEDED OUR ORIGINAL GOAL OF HOUSING FAMILIES OF 243 HOMELESS STUDENTS AT THE LAUNCH OF THE PILOT, THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS STUDENTS IN THE INITIAL SEVEN SCHOOLS INCREASED BY MORE THAN 100 AND AT THE END OF FISCAL YEAR 2021 70 HOMELESS CHILDREN ATTENDING THE SEVEN SCHOOLS REMAINED IN SHELTERS OR DOUBLED-UP.DURING FISCAL 2022, WE COMPLETED PLANS TO SCALE UP THE PILOT PROGRAM TO A FULL INITIATIVE AND INVITED 13 ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT PHASE WITH THE GOAL OF HOUSING THE HOMELESS FAMILIES OF THE ESTIMATED 500 STUDENTS ATTENDING 20 SCHOOLS. BY JUNE 30, 2022, 11 OF THE 20 SCHOOLS WERE ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN THE INITIATIVE BY REFERRING HOMELESS STUDENTS TO FLSI PARTNERS. DURING FY 2022, BPS DECIDED TO CLOSE TWO OF THE 20 SCHOOLS. EARLY IN FY 2022, BPS AND HIGHER GROUND ON BEHALF OF FLSI EXECUTED A NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (NDA) AND IN RESPONSE TO A DATA REQUEST BY HIGHER GROUND, BPS PROVIDED STUDENT LEVEL DATA FOR 150 STUDENTS WHOSE FAMILIES HAD BEEN HOUSED DURING THE PILOT PHASE OF THE INITIATIVE. BPS AND HIGHER GROUND WERE CONTINUING TO REVIEW THE INITIAL DRAFT IMPACT REPORT BASED ON THE INITIAL DATA AND BPS WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DATA UNTIL THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN COMPLETED. SUBSEQUENT TO FY 2022 YEAR END, BPS AND HIGHER GROUND UPDATED THEIR AGREEMENT INCLUDING A DIFFERENT PROCESS FOR ACCESSING STUDENT LEVEL DATA.DURING FY 2022, HIGHER GROUND CONTINUED DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CITY OF LAWRENCE ABOUT SUPPORT EFFORTS TO LAUNCH A SIMILAR INITIATIVE IN THAT CITY AND ENGAGED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS IN EAST BOSTON, CHELSEA, MALDEN, CAMBRIDGE, FALL RIVER AND NEW BEDFORD TO EXPLORE THEIR INTEREST IN SUCH AN INITIATIVE.
