“Children experiencing housing instability miss an average of 17.5 days of school.”
More people in our community are showing us 💙love💚 by getting involved in our 41 years campaign. Here’s what Francisco Rojas with Longview ISD has to say:
“When I got introduced and involved with Habitat, I was moved by the amount of impact it has in the lives of so many East Texas veterans, seniors, individuals with disabilities, and children.”
“As someone who works for the school district, I can assure you that safe and warm housing directly impacts children’s learning abilities tremendously. When children are living in a safe and warm house, they are likely to attend school regularly vs those who aren’t.” Francisco said.
“In fact, children in safe, warm, and stable homes miss an average of 9.4 days of school per year, compared to 17.5 days for children experiencing housing instability, and up to 50% of children over the age of 3 living in unstable or sub-standard environments require professional referrals for developmental and cognitive evaluations”, Francisco added.
“It is a great privilege to support organizations like Habitat in our area and I encourage others to get involved as well”.
Thank you for your support, Francisco!
