Education Project

The Education Project, once known as the Education Project for Homeless Youth or EPHY, is an initiative created to support Washtenaw County students struggling to participate in school due to complex physical, mental, or emotional needs. The Education Project is divided into four core areas of focus: Child Well-Being, Health, Education, and Homeless Services. A brief description of the areas of focus and links to their respective pages are as follows:

Homeless Services

Some of the ways in which the Education Project works to support families and students is to help identify and connect to resources in the community, as well as assist in navigating systems. Specific resources available to support young people in staying connected to school depend on the type of need and will be determined working in partnership with the Education Project team.

Additional questions can be addressed by email or by calling (734) 994-8100 x1518.
