Students In Transition

______________________________________________________________________________

Pajaro Valley Unified School District through the Healthy Start Program has five school based Resource Centers where Students in Transition and their families received a variety of support services. Once referred or identified, students, and often their parents or caregivers, may be directed to local agencies working cooperatively with Healthy Start. 

Students in Transition are children, youth and families that find themselves homeless. Healthy Start performs atlength interviews to identify families who lack adequate housing, i.e. share the housing of others due to financial hardship (doubled, tripled-up in a home), living in a car, shelter, hotel or motel.
