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.
