Strategies

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Offer debt advice from trained providers to tenants with unpaid, overdue rent to help repay debt and increase financial literacy

Create a school culture of high behavioral and academic expectations, with intense tutoring, increased teacher performance feedback, lengthened instruction time, and health care services

Transition families and individuals experiencing homelessness into permanent housing quickly, often with supports such as short-term financial assistance, case management, landlord negotiations, etc.
