Abstract
Considering the increased number of students impacted by homelessness and the overrepresentation of people of color among the homeless population, feeling adept in meeting the unique needs of this student population is critical for school counselors. We address findings from a qualitative study exploring the challenges and cultural responsiveness of school counselors supporting students experiencing homelessness. Three themes and two subthemes emerged from the study and are addressed in detail.
