Abstract

Across childhood and adolescence, material resources—including but not limited to nutritious food, adequate clothing, reliable transportation, and stable housing—promote youth development and wellbeing [, , ]. Insufficient access to or availability of these resources creates unmet material needs among youth and their families, with direct implications for student success and school climate (e.g., absenteeism, bullying) [, , , , ]. Policies and programs addressing students' unmet material needs may improve a range of student outcomes, from academic performance to student safety. Systematically reviewing evidence can help identify which interventions schools have implemented, the outcomes that researchers have evaluated, and finally, the effects on evaluated outcomes. We undertook the present scoping review to identify the range of interventions addressing students' unmet material needs for which researchers have evaluated student learning and behavioral outcomes. The prevalence of unmet material needs among school‐aged children is high in the US []. During the 2022–2023 school year, over 1 million public school students experienced housing instability [], and in 2024 over 18% of households with children experienced food insecurity []. Although poverty can lead to unmet material needs, many children in households with incomes above the poverty line still experience such needs []. Unmet material needs disproportionately burden students who already experience educational disadvantages rooted in racism and socioeconomic status [, , , , ]. In 2023, the proportion of households with food‐insecure children was over twice as high among Black and Latine households compared to White households (14% vs. 5.9%) []. In 2021, Latine students represented over 39% of the unhoused student population, despite representing only 28% of students [].
