The Homeless Children’s Network works to address the traumatic effects of homelessness and violence in the lives of young children and their families, and to establish a “standard of care” across a variety of shelters and housing programs. Working directly with the community, HCN helps children and families address the root traumas that shape their worldviews, explore healthier perspectives, and learn practical non‑violent skill sets for managing stress through comprehensive mental health services, case management, family education and support services, and community leadership.
