Abstract	One of the more enigmatic issues of contemporary homelessness is that of schooling.

Background information is offered, with an analysis of educational policy relating to homeless children. Practical strategies and a review of successful programs to help the homeless are offered.

H. Stronge); (2) "The Legal Context: From Access to Success in Education for Homeless Children and Youth" (V. M.
