The Early Learning Center at Pathways: Providing Care to Homeless Children and Families

Population Health Plug-In

According to Pathways’ news release, one in 23 children in Alabama will experience homelessness before the age of six and most of the state’s homeless children in that age group living in Jefferson County. Only three percent of those children have access to federally-funded early childhood education. Ms. Carrie Leland, Executive Director of Pathways, joins us to talk about this population and how Pathways is able to provide care for homeless children through their new Early Learning Center.
