Hidden Faces of Homelessness – MNPS HERO Program
Come learn from Metro Schools about the Hidden Faces of Homelessness, children and families, in our community. There were nearly 4500 students classified as experiencing homelessness in Nashville in the last school year and The HERO Program for Families in Transition is always looking for partners in our work.

Sheila works as an Outreach Specialist within the HERO Program in Metro Nashville Public Schools. In March of 2022, Sheila joined the McKinney Vento HERO Program with MNPS.
Helping families navigate homelessness holds a special place in her heart, as it wasn’t long ago that her family also navigated being without a home. Because of the programs that Sheila's family navigated during the two years they experienced homelessness, the perspective that she brings to the conversation is genuinely unique. 7 years after escaping homelessness, she works with a passion to help build a robust and intentional resource network to help school staff better understand how to help families in need.
