Abstract: The foundation for this senior project developed as a result of personal experience and professional interests into the needs of students experiencing homelessness during college. This paper begins with a literature review that looks at children and youth experiencing homelessness, the negative effects of homelessness on a child’s education, and the transition from high school to higher education while experiencing homelessness. This paper then describes the service project that was completed to meet the one of the identified needs of this population. This service project involved learning how to apply for a grant, providing dorm supplies to students experiencing homelessness, and learning grant reporting requirements. This paper will close with a professional reflection on this process.
