The BASES (Building Academic, Social, and Emotional Supports) Project: Enhancing School-Based Supports for Young Homeless Children
Through collaboration with the Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD), Dane County Parent Council (DCPC) and UW-Madison, the overall goals of the BASES Project are to increase school-based and other educational supports for young homeless children in Madison and build the capacity of schools, teachers and families to better meet the needs of these students. The BASES Project is expected to provide direct services to more than 75 homeless children, 15 classroom teachers and 10-15 parents weekly, and over 250 children in the next three years. Successful completion of the proposed activities facilitate an integrated continuum of care for homeless children ages 0-7 years in Madison, serving as the basis for future replication efforts.
