UCF CPNM Homeless Education - OCPS
 
 
 
The Univ. of Central FL Center for Public and Nonprofit Management (CPNM) aspires to strengthen communities by helping small and midsize public and nonprofit organizations with training, technical assistance, and evaluation. The UCF CPNM has successfully supported 10 major capacity building projects positively impacting over 200 nonprofit organizations and the Central Florida community. The UCF CPNM is entering Year Three of its project to effectively address the education needs of families in transition in Central Florida. This previous school year, there were more than 7,200 homeless children in Orange County Public Schools. Despite the improving economy, the student homeless population continues to grow. VISTAs will be working with the McKinney-Vento program to increase the ability of the organization to effectively reach students. Nonprofits are increasingly addressing the growing community needs and require community partners to support these efforts. CPNM VISTAs have the opportunity to serve the homeless children population by incorporating strategies to foster resilient communities. Intensive orientation and ongoing training will prepare the VISTAs to become leaders in five critical areas of capacity building: organizational, program, and leadership development, collaboration and community engagement, and evaluation of effectiveness. VISTAs provide focused, in-depth technical assistance in the internal management systems of strategic planning, financial management, and policies and procedures, and customized technical assistance, to community organizations. Organizations receiving technical assistance will demonstrate an enhanced ability to provide social services, increased effectiveness, sustainability, and creation of collaborations to ensure homeless children and youths have access to the education and additional services and opportunities in order to meet the same challenging academic achievement standards of all students in Florida.
