Davis (Utah) district is constructing high school resource centers for homeless students

The Davis (Utah) district is building resource centers at several of its high schools to provide services to homeless students.

The teen resource centers will provide a safe space for students to shower, do their laundry, study and gain access to critical resources, reports ABC 4 Utah. 

The centers are being built at Woods Cross, Northridge, Layton and Mountain high schools as well as Renaissance Academy. 

A center opened at Clearfield High earlier this year and serves about 50 and 60 students a week. 

More than 1,300 students experience homelessness in the district; 300 of them are high school students.
