I won't say anything in detail about this, but over the past few years I've worked as an Early ECEAP/Early Head Start/ECEAP teacher, and yes. And you can't tell which kids are unhoused by looking.
It's SHAMEFUL that we have babies and toddlers sleeping in cars, shelters, or couch surfing.

Subbing for ECEAP (preschool-aged kiddos) for this week, and the Lead Teacher encouraged me to apply for the vacancy. So, if the couple of stray art position fishing lines I still have out don't catch... at least I might finally get something stable?

If you think states will pick up the slack left by the federal government, I got some bad news for you. States most likely won't. All you have to do is look at what's happened with Covid since the feds dropped everything. Now we're facing unchecked spread, mask bans, a Long Covid crisis...
