Abstract	In 2013, The National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth administered a survey to school district liaisons, homeless housing providers, and early care/education providers (including Early Head Start/Head Start (EHS/HS), child care, preschool, Early Intervention (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C), and Preschool Special Education providers (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B). The survey had three primary objectives: (1) To understand the barriers families with young children experiencing homelessness face when trying to access early childhood services; (2) To identify successful strategies for addressing those barriers; and (3) To assess the degree of collaboration among early care and education programs. The purpose of this brief is to share findings from a national survey focused on developing an understanding of the barriers and facilitators of access to early childhood services among young children and families experiencing homelessness. This first brief will focus on the overall survey findings, with future briefs focusing on specific program types. [This brief was written in collaboration with the NAEHCY Early Childhood Committee.] (ERIC).
