The federal Homeless Education program is
designed to provide supplemental programs and services to students who
lack a fixed, regular, and adequate residence. While we do NOT receive
McKinney-Vento Homeless Education funds, we set aside funds from our
Title I allocation for this purpose. Students eligible for Homeless
Education program services include:
- Students and youth who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason
- Students who may be living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, shelters, or awaiting foster care placement
- Students and youth who have a primary nighttime residence that is a
public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular
sleeping accommodation for human beings
- Students and youth who are living in cars, parks, public spaces,
abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or
similar settings
- Migratory students who qualify as homeless because they are students who are living in similar circumstances as listed above
