“Students living in affordable housing benefit from access to the internet, books, health care and programs designed for those with special needs. Students can also receive tutoring, which not only helps academically, but also adds another adult role model into their lives.
The new Stable Homes Stable Schools initiative, for example, helps students and families in Minneapolis Public Schools pay rent for consistent housing while offering wraparound services. The program is designed to enroll more than 600 students and is funded with $3 million from Mayor Jacob Frey’s proposed budget, $1.4 million from the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and $500,000 from the Pohland Family Foundation for the Housing Stability Fund.”
