It\u2019s an issue that causes internal damage within the community, usually caused by gentrification (unaffordable housing), domestic violence, poverty and lack of attention to the problem itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">With the gentrification of South San Francisco\u2014and the rest of Bay Area\u2014more middle- and lower-class residents are being forced from their original living areas and, unable to afford the housing within the area, become homeless. These students often have to share housing with others; some even have to find primary nighttime residence at a public or private place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">California has the largest population of homeless students in the country\u2014twice the rate of as the national average. According to the California Homeless Youth Project, during the 2012-2013 school year, nearly 270,000 students experienced homelessness in California, representing 21 percent of the homeless students in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">One homeless South City student opened up about about her experience. In addition to navigating the SAT\u2019s, keeping up with classes, and building a resume for college, this student\u2014who will be a senior next year\u2014also worried about where she\u2019d call home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The student\u2014who requested anonymity\u2014has been living in an RV parked behind her father\u2019s workplace for the past year. Her father\u2019s employer allows them to connect to the water and electricity. She said she\u2019s grateful to have a roof over her head, but the space doesn\u2019t always feel liveable. There\u2019s no room for privacy, homework, or class projects. She also tries to keep her homelessness a secret from her peers, and has not asked for help from school staff to avoid judgements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There are many students in the South San Francisco Unified School District facing homelessness, but they mostly under the radar. And it\u2019s important that school communities make an effort toward addressing these students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">One homeless student, in her junior year, spoke of the struggles she has faced academically:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34613\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34613\" style=\"width: 399px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-34613\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?resize=399%2C266&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?w=864&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Homeless-student_01web.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34613\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">South San Francisco High School offers services to its homeless students, but educators admit that it\u2019s usually difficult to identify students who are homeless. Photo: Alexis Terrazas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cSophomore year was one of my difficult years because most of my classes were either honors or AP, and I had to stay at Starbucks past midnight often to get homework and papers done because I didn\u2019t have a home &#8230; it lowered my performance in classes and I started to pay attention less than usual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Homeless students are much more likely to fall behind in school. Both teachers and counselors alike say that they are aware of this issue, and that not enough is being done to combat it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Many are unaware that support services for homeless students exist, but but they do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Daniel Flores, a school counselor, said that resources are limited, but that those available are good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">For example Jeanne George, an intervention counselor, is available for emotional support and as an avenue to find further resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There are laws in place that protect homeless students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">For instance, if a homeless student found shelter outside of the district, they might be forced to move schools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Under the Mckinney-Vento Act, homeless students are protected by a set of laws that ensure they still have access to public education despite their housing circumstances. This includes, the right to choose which school they will attend, transportation services and the right to participate in other school programs and extracurriculars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Even so, homeless students often feel that there is not enough support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI didn\u2019t feel supported by the school. I don\u2019t think homelessness is addressed at all, and if there\u2019s support given on campus, it\u2019s unknown and in the dark,\u201d said the student interviewed for this story. \u201cI understand that I should say something to a counselor or a teacher, but I don\u2019t think I can do that unless the school is willing to recognize that student homelessness is real, and like me, there are others who are going through the same thing. We need to address the fact that homelessness is not a shameful thing, it\u2019s reality and it\u2019s very real here in SSF.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">One teacher who hears homeless students\u2019 concerns is Aaron Boyd, an economics and video art teacher. Boyd organizes a yearly trip for senior students to volunteer at the St. Anthony\u2019s foundation, not only to provide students with a community service experience, but to also have them understand the prominence of homelessness in the community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Boyd said the topic of student homelessness has come up at faculty meetings, and that identifying which students are homeless is half the battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThe first step is for us to just recognize which students are homeless. And that\u2019s a big huge first step,\u201d said Boyd, going on to explain that some students may not even know they are homeless. \u201cThey just maybe are in a situation where they\u2019re living with their uncle for one week, and then they\u2019re living for a friend for another week, and they think that homeless are just people on the streets. Well no, a homeless can be someone who doesn\u2019t have their own home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Students are often expected to prioritize their academics, but Boyd understands that this isn\u2019t the reality for homeless students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI recognize, and I think everyone recognizes that, when someone is worried about where they\u2019re going to sleep every night, school work is always going to come second,\u201d said Boyd. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cAnd I think that\u2019s another reason why homeless children should seek out help \u2026 that will allow teachers to be more flexible in terms of the work they assign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Boyd encountered a similar situation three years ago when he had a student who became homeless after her parents were deported. She went from earning straight A\u2019s to failing every class, and it wasn\u2019t until George, the school\u2019s crisis counselor, stepped in that the student got academically back on track. George connected with the student\u2019s teachers, informing them of her situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI\u2019ve seen Ms. George specifically take a horrible situations and really help turn that situation around for a kid,\u201d Boyd said. \u201cTeachers and administrators, we\u2019re all here\u2014not for the money, obviously\u2014to teach students and to help students, and to help our community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><i>This article was originally published in the May 19, 2017 edition of The Warrior Post, South San Francisco\u2019s High School student newspaper.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student homelessness isn\u2019t always plainly visible, yet it is more widespread than one might think.
