The Homeless Children's Education Fund is honoring ELC's Pittsburgh Director Nancy A. Hubley with its 2014 Linda Dickerson Award at the annual Champions for Children Benefit on March 4. 

The award is presented annually to individuals who provide opportunities to children experiencing homelessness. Nancy's work with ELC for more than two decades has has focused on the legal rights of the most vulnerable children, including children experiencing homelessness.

Earlier this month, 15 parents from throughout New York state, along with a coalition of statewide education groups, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the state's public school students, charging that the state is neglecting its constitutional obligation to ensure that every school has sufficient funding to provide all students a meaningful educational opportunity.

The suit, titled New Yorkers for Students' Educational Rights v. the State of New York, No. 14 (Feb. 10, 2014), is being led by Michael A. Rebell, who successfully litigated the Campaign for Fiscal Equity v. the State of New York, 2003 NY Int. 84 (June 26, 2003), case.
