5th Annual BELL Summit
Supporting Families with Infants and Toddlers Experiencing Homelessness

Innovation in Philadelphia Home Visiting Report
Promising Practices and Recommendations
Picture
Thank you to everyone who joined us! HopePHL’s Building Early Links for Learning Project (BELL) Summit featured national, state-wide, and local perspectives and offered next steps for regional leadership to implement to improve the lives of young children experiencing homelessness, with special emphasis on infants and toddlers. 

12,000
Infants and toddlers experienced homelessness in Pennsylvania,
​according to the PA Department of Education in the most recent report.
1,360
Infants and toddlers were served by the Philadelphia Office of
​Homeless Services last year.
87%
Of families who entered Philadelphia's homeless housing
​system are African American.

Children and youth experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity are more likely than their stably housed peers to experience risk factors that impact their long term health and well-being. How can housing and early childhood education practitioners improve the resilience of these children while they are experiencing homelessness?
