Housing justice is education justice.

When families struggle to keep a roof over their heads, children often experience:

• More school absences
• Interrupted learning
• Higher levels of stress
• Lower academic performance

Research consistently shows that housing instability makes it harder for students to thrive in school. Children who experience eviction or frequent moves are more likely to miss school and fall behind academically.

Here in Nevada, families are balancing rent, groceries, utility bills, and back-to-school expenses while housing costs remain out of reach for too many working households.

Housing is not just about where we live. It is about whether children and families have the stability they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

That is why Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada advocates for housing policies that help Nevada families remain safely housed.
