Hall House, a Charlotte Housing Authority property, was established to provide safe, transitional housing for 100 families of homeless children in Charlotte, NC from December 16, 2008 to June 30, 2009 at 426 N. Tryon St. Hall House was a collaborative effort between several partners: Charlotte Housing Authority, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, WISH, Salvation Army, A Child’s Place, Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Homeless Support Services. By establishing a temporary housing complex during a time of high unemployment for Charlotte, Hall House freed up space in existing shelters so that more families and individuals could be served. During the 2008-2009 academic year, there were 2,493 children identified through the McKinney-Vento Act as homeless in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System. The school effects of an unstable housing situation (pay-by-week motels, doubled-up living, shelters) are increased absences, illness, and mental health issues. Homeless students typically fall behind their peers academically by two to three years. Stabilized housing, such as Hall House, provides students and families with the services and support to help them move beyond their current situation. Stabilizing the home situation, it is hoped, will lead to improvements in academic outcomes and this hypothesized effect of Hall House is the central focus of this evaluation.
