Elizabeth Fortuner is currently the Outreach & Marketing Specialist for a statewide program called, Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness. Elizabeth has a vigorous understanding and background in informing and training local school districts, county welfare agencies, and higher-ed institutions of their responsibilities to children and youth experiencing homelessness and/or in the foster care system which falls under the two federal educational laws, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act. In this episode, we discuss the important work that Liz is doing to support children experiencing homelessness and how her journey of 18 years in the Foster Care System and experiencing periods of homelessness has inspired her to improve our lives using the very important McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
