Learn to Earn Dayton focuses on transforming systems through data, partnerships and policy to ensure all learners in the Dayton Region have the resources and opportunities that foster lifelong success and economic mobility. Through its Access to Counsel program, L2ED addresses housing instability and the impact it has on student attendance and success. A 2025 pilot in Northwest Dayton revealed a significant legal gap for tenants who are rarely represented and showed strong outcomes in preventing evictions and stabilizing families. Funds will be used to expand the program citywide, add an early alert system for student evictions and increase outreach through legal and social services to keep families housed and promote long-term solutions. Partners in the program include ABLE, City of Dayton Clerk of Courts, CityWide, Dayton Public Schools, Omega CDC and RISE Northwest.
