The Santa Fe Public Schools (SFPS) Adelante Program strengthens opportunities for the
academic achievement and life success of Santa Fe children and youth who are experiencing
homelessness or housing instability.
Founded in 2003 as a school entity and community organization, Adelante annually identifies
and supports approximately 1,100 youth experiencing homelessness, as defined by the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Adelante team members work to address families’
needs with culturally competent, effective, bilingual services. Research shows completing high
school is a large factor in reducing homelessness and poverty rates; therefore, the Adelante
team works to support students’ immediate academic, medical, social service, and housing
needs, while simultaneously focusing on their long-term educational trajectories.
The SFPS Adelante Program plays a crucial role in educating the community about child
homelessness, and advocates for families’ needs with school staff, human service agencies,
and the community at large. Adelante provides leadership in promoting local and national
policies toward ending child homelessness.
Adelante is collecting the following food items for their Holiday food drive:
stuffing mix
cans of cranberries
cans of green beans
cans of mushroom soup
cans of corn
cans of gravy
cans of low sugar fruit
Please bring any of these items to our program.
