The Homeless Children's Education Fund (HCEF) is a nonprofit organization based in Pittsburgh that supports the education of children and youth experiencing homelessness in Southwestern Pennsylvania, with a focus on Allegheny County. Founded in 1999, it operates in the education administration space and relies on contributions from community foundations, corporations, and individuals, receiving no government funding. The organization partners with shelters, transitional housing facilities, and local schools to deliver programs addressing students' educational needs and engages in advocacy at local, state, and national levels. A recent development is Winnie's Wagon, a mobile classroom launched in 2023 to expand access to education for homeless students. HCEF is a small to mid-sized nonprofit that conducts its work from its Pittsburgh headquarters and collaborates with community partners to carry out its mission. Its overarching objective is to help children and youth experiencing homelessness realize their potential and participate as productive members of their communities.
