Project Heartbeat
Project Heartbeat works to ensure all children and youth who are experiencing homelessness can enroll in, attend, and succeed in school by eliminating barriers to school enrollment and attendance. We seek to increase and improve the emotional well-being and academic achievement of students experiencing homelessness. Project Heartbeat works with children and unaccompanied youth who are experiencing homelessness to meet their basic needs, and to ensure their rights under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act are met by providing programs and opportunities that might not otherwise be available for these students. We work to enhance student learning by impacting the quality of education. This is accomplished by offering enhanced opportunities including participation in the BISD Mentor Program and resources available in the community.
