Homeless Student Liaison Information
IF YOUR FAMILY LIVES IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS
By law, school-aged children in one of the following situations may be considered homeless if they are:
- Living in a shelter
- Living in campgrounds, temporarily trailers, or parks
- Living in an automobile
- Living in an abandoned building or public place
- Staying doubled up with friends or relatives, due to loss of housing from financial hardship
- Living in substandard housing (i.e. no running water, no electricity)
- Living in a transitional housing program
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act is a federal law that ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for homeless children and youth. McKinney-Vento provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting school programs that serve homeless students.
McKinney-Vento Eligibility is based on your answer on the Student Housing Questionnaire you submitted with your application.
