"Students navigating housing insecurity in NYC faced an uphill battle compared to their peers. The distance exacerbates chronic absenteeism, impacting almost half of the students in temporary housing."
"NYC homeless students lost 1.1 million days of instruction. Many students missed class at least one out of every 10 school days, which severely affects their academic performance."
"Families in temporary housing often have to transfer schools mid-year, losing connections to their school community, teachers, and friends, which makes academic recovery very challenging."
Over 150,000 students in NYC identified as homeless for the 2024-2025 school year experience higher chronic absenteeism and frequent school transfers. These challenges lead to poorer outcomes on standardized tests. The distance from their schools exacerbates absenteeism, resulting in 1.1 million lost days of instruction. Many families in temporary housing struggle to maintain connections to their school communities, forcing mid-year transfers that disrupt education and social ties. This situation creates significant barriers to academic recovery for affected students.
