Meanwhile, the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (Perkins V) mandates that implementation, evaluation, and improvement of CTE programs include the needs of unhoused youth among other “special populations” of students. However, there is little collaboration and policy overlap between MKV and CTE departments.  \nIn 2022 , the California state budget allocated $500 million to enhance high school students 'college and career readiness through the Golden State Pathways Program Act, prioritizing funding for districts serving above-average populations of unhoused youth. Because of this, there is a timely opportunity to increase access, support, and outcomes for unhoused youth navigating academic programming toward their college and career goals.  \nMethods  \n● Review of existing legislation, policy, and research  \n● Qualitative interviews with CTE & Linked Learning, MKV, and student support staff  \nFindings  \n● Research-backed strategies to support the academics ofunhoused youth focus on addressing basic needs and enhancing collaboration among staff and external partners.  \n● Current implementations of CTE & work-based learning (WBL) may perpetuate existing inequities and biases. However, the Linked Learning model (right) , wherein students learn through industry-specific “pathways,” seeks to address this challenge.  \n● The Linked Learning model has been used to thoughtfully and successfully support other Perkins V-defined “special populations” of students.  \n● While Linked Learning mitigated equity challenges for special populations, it did not eliminate them.  \nPLUS Fellows Policy Brief, May 2023  \nRecommendations  \nLeverage the Golden State Pathways Program Act as a Linked Learning catalyst  \nThe Golden State Pathways Program Act could catalyze the growth of promising Linked Learning pathway initiatives throughout California. If LEAs intentionally build partnerships, design programs, and remove structural barriers for unhoused youth, Linked Learning programs implemented or enhanced through new state funding could close the gap between the educational goals of MKV and the equity aims of CTE policies.  \nDevelop a system of responsive and collaborative partnerships  \nSuccessful CTE and Linked Learning programs depend on community and industry partnerships. Partners should be committed to designing practical, innovative, and responsive workplace practices. Partners should proactively consider and work together to improve solutions to challenges that may inhibit the success of diverse students (e.g. , language barriers, unstable housing, or other considerations outlined below) .  \nThe California Community Schools Partnerships Act, which the legislature expanded in 2022 , is focused on leveraging community and government partnerships to improve students’ holistic outcomes. Given the significance of partnerships for effective MKV and CTE programming, there is further opportunity to align MKVand CTE programs to Community School initiatives.  \nDesign & implement high-quality and targeted programming  \nUnhoused students are likelier to thrive when LEAs design Linked Learning programs for their specific needs and aspirations.
