Region 3 includes
the counties of Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, Mifflin, Huntingdon,
Juniata, Perry and York. There are 35 school districts served by Region

Homeless Program in Region 3 depends on these counties to report
homeless students so that needed services can be provided to the
students.
Services available
to homeless students in Region 3 include after-school tutoring programs,
information, trainings, school supplies, and uniforms. The services
vary by county, however the objective is the same for each county in
Region 3. These initiatives include; to inform local school districts of
their responsibilities to homeless children and youth; to increase
awareness about the needs of homeless children and youth; to increase
awareness of the needs of the children; to evaluate and address any
educational barriers; to explain current legislation and policies
already in place; to provide practical tips for working with homeless
children; and offer opportunities for homeless children and youth to
