NCHE Abstract Bibliography of Homeless Education Resources: 2012
Beginning in 2004, the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) has published an annual bibliography featuring resources that address various issues related to the education and lives of homeless children, youth, and families. The bibliography is intended to inform, educate, and empower those who serve at-risk children, youth, and families, especially those who are homeless and/or highly mobile. This edition includes items published in 2012 that are listed topically for easy reference. The list is not exhaustive but does represent a cross-section of materials available. Eight publications from NCHE including issue briefs, research summaries and data collection reports are detailed. The bibliography also references products issued by related Federal agencies and organizations on homeless families, children and youth as well as scholarly articles and studies.
