One in every 45 children in the U.S. is homeless each year. The stress and trauma of homelessness is emotionally and cognitively damaging to young children. Homeless children are two times more likely to have learning disabilities and eight times more likely to be asked to repeat a grade.
High-quality early education can reduce the effects of stress and trauma and it is the most effective way to ensure future school and life success.
The Massachusetts State Senate has an opportunity to increase access to high-quality early education by funding crucial programs that support the healthy development of Massachusetts' most vulnerable children. We must act now. Please urge the Massachusetts Senate to take action and support subsidies for high-quality early education.
