[Wsssc] FW: Request: Campus Housing Resource

[Joe Holliday]

Colleagues: see below and attached. When you have a few minutes, check out your college's listing starting on page 17 and make sure the info is accurate. If your college is missing from the list, let me know that as well as which of the services (food pantries, housing assistance, etc.) should be listed. This guide is going to print soon and I know they want it to be as accurate as possible.

Thanks.

Subject: Request: Campus Housing Resource

Good Afternoon Joe,

I'm working with Building Changes here in Seattle on the completion of a resource booklet for students who are experiencing homelessness in Washington, as they develop their high school and beyond plans and explore post-secondary options.  As I'm new to managing this project, I'm not sure what your level of involvement has been to date in the process - your name and contact information are listed explicitly in the current version of the resource booklet.  Up until recently, this project has been a collaborative effort between Building Changes, Washington College Access Network (WCAN) and others, to expand the College Knowledge curriculum.  With the dissolution of WCAN, Building Changes has assumed full management of the project.

Now that we are back on track, I'm hoping to connect with you to get your input on what resources the booklet should include on food and housing supports at community and technical colleges.  We are also developing a coinciding training curriculum for high school counselors, McKinney-Vento Liaisons, and college recruiters/counselors.  This multi-day training will parallel the resource booklet in terms of content, with an opportunity for participants to exchange knowledge and experience specific to their own roles.  A main goal for both the training and the booklet is to bridge resources and information often disjointed on the spectrum of services, to enable a more seamless (less daunting) experience for students seeking and receiving supports in transition from high school to post-secondary opportunities.

We've now received the most up-to-date draft of the booklet from our graphic designer (attached here), and are in the process of collecting input/feedback from folks with subject matter expertise.  We will then present an updated version to an informal focus group of counselors and liaisons for additional input.  Beyond the booklet, I'd also appreciate your thoughts on best ways to recruit college counselors/student supports staff to our training, as well as suggestions for tapping local subject matter experts who might advise on or present some content.

In summary, my request is to connect with you about the following:
-          Answering any questions you might have on this project;
-          Reviewing and providing input on the resource booklet, specific to housing resources for students experiencing homelessness/housing instability when creating their high school and beyond plans;
-          Guidance and/or contribution on content for the housing piece of the training;
-          Suggestions for outreach to recruit college counselors/support staff to attend the training.

Would you be available to touch base over the phone sometime this week or next?  We are grateful for any time you can provide to ensure we're putting out a useful resource and an effective training!

Thanks for your time,
Mandy
