What is the Bringing School Home (BSH) Program?
Did you know that 90% of brain development happens during the first five years of life?
We believe that parents are their children’s first and most important teachers. We also believe that working toward goals helps people achieve their dreams.
Bringing School Home is a unique, two-generation program that supports both parents and young children in building strong foundations for a brighter future. We focus on early childhood development, school readiness, and long-term family stability.
By connecting families with valuable resources and encouraging their goals, we help parents and children thrive together. Our approach celebrates family strengths and the power of community support.
Who Can Join Bringing School Home?
Families must have at least one child under the age of six at move-in and be committed to participating in monthly goal-setting meetings and educational programming to support both parents’ and children’s long-term success.
Families must meet eligibility requirements and be accepted into the Bringing School Home program to join the housing waitlist for the Bringing School Home sites.

Each of these communities has access to resources, including community centers with libraries, computers, Wi-Fi, and onsite educational programming and community events.
Supportive services start when families are accepted into the Bringing School Home program and admitted into a housing community and continue as children move along their educational path toward high school graduation.
