Nunez Hails Pittsburgh as a Model on Child Homelessness

In a new blog entry published at The Huffington Post, ICPH President and CEO Ralph da Costa Nunez spotlights an innovative partnership between the Homeless Children's Education Fund and U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton to reduce child homelessness in Western Pennsylvania.

Ralph da Costa Nunez, president and CEO of the Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness, describes the Institute's recently released report "A New Path: An Immediate Plan to Reduce Family Homelessness." After decades of a failed one-size-fits-all approach to ending homelessness, "A New Path" outlines a plan for new, specialized family shelters that provide a full range of supportive services to transition families back to stability.
