Are Detroit’s Health Hubs the Solution to DPSCD’s Chronic Absenteeism Problem?
Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) launched 10 Health Hubs in 2023 to address chronic absenteeism by providing students and families with health services, housing assistance, food distribution, and legal resources. Navigators like Jerrica Mickens help families access these services, contributing to improved attendance and supporting thousands of families since the program's inception.
