School District Homeless Liaison Locator

The School District Homeless Liaison Locator is a quick and easy way to find the homeless liaison for your school district.  Once you reach the locator, click on the school district for which you need a liaison and a small box will open on the right side with information on contacting both the liaison and the school district administrator.  

If you need additional assistance, you can reach any of the Lead Homeless Liaisons by clicking on the map link on the 
ISBE Homeless Education page
or contact the State Coordinator 1-800-215-6379.



NEW!   Have You Seen Clem?
Skateboarder and would-be filmmaker Jaymo blackmails a mysterious can peddler with a cart full of secrets named Clem into his Street People documentary. But soon reality and fiction are blurred on an eye-opening road trip to Nashville, by way of a bizarre revenge plot. Based on a true story…sorta, and featuring a smokin’ soundtrack of real sidewalk musicians, this original and hilarious “Docu-dram-edy” scores as a documentary expose of American homelessness, a drama revolving around real-life events and a comedy, with hidden-camera “Jaymovision” hijinks that might have one day caught you off guard.
Look for “Have You Seen Clem" in theaters this fall.
A percentage of all proceeds will go to NCH.

Check out the “Have you Seen Clem” website at
www.seeclem.com,
which includes an interview with our very own Executive Director, Michael Stoops!
