Children and Youth in Transition

The Children and Youth in Transition department conducted a Needs Assessment for four High Schools including San Diego High, Hoover High, Morse High and Lincoln High. The students that participated in the assessment are in transition; experiencing or have experienced homelessness or are in the foster care system. Over the last month they have assessed a total of 516 students and continue to conduct assessments in order to identify what the students needs are and appropriately connect them with resources at their school, community or within the Children and Youth in Transition department. The staff has linked students with resources including school supplies, mental health referrals, bus passes etc. in order to support student success.
