Public Housing/ParentChild+ Partnerships

  • Cradle to career supports for families, ensuring that

families in residential communities have access to quality early learning experiences, school readiness programming, and employment opportunities.

  • Hiring

home visiting staff from the neighborhood/public housing residents who know the community and are a cultural/linguistic match for the families they visit.

  • Connecting

families with

  • ther programming and

building community – bringing resources into public housing and ensuring families have opportunities to explore their communities.

slide-15
SLIDE 15

ParentChild+ has been reaching families living in public and subsidized housing for decades. In the past five years, however, it has developed focused, effective partnerships with housing authorities. These partnerships take a number of forms:

  • Housing authority as facilitator – providing outreach opportunities

and space for group sessions, but not financial or implementation support.

  • Housing authority as model implementer – staff trained in model to

work with housing authority residents and Section 8 recipients.

  • Housing authority as ”purchaser” of a specific number of home

visiting slots for families residing in public and subsidized housing from a local implementation partner.

  • Housing

authority as major funding partner for large-scale community implementation, reaching families living in public housing as well as other families in the area around the housing.

North Philadelphia Graduation

slide-18
SLIDE 18
  • Families enrolled in ParentChild+ in North Philadelphia

also have access to monthly literacy-enriched, community-building programming, alternately at a location outside the community (Smith Playground) and in housing authority community centers.

  • Each session repeats a familiar formula that supports

community-building between caregivers and children, and among families: families share a meal together, have a read aloud together, do an activity, and receive a take-home at the end of each visit.

SLIDE 19

ParentChild+ graduates scored 2.5x higher on social-emotional skills than their peers.

Home visiting focused on school readiness prevents the achievement gap.

ParentChild+ graduates are 50% more likely to be prepared for kindergarten than their peers. ParentChild+ participants have 30% higher graduation rates than their underserved peers. ParentChild+ graduates enter school performing 10 months above their chronological age.
