McKinney-Vento
Education of Homeless Children & Youth
The McKinney-Vento Act provides rights and services to children and youth experiencing homelessness, which includes those who are: sharing the housing of others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; staying in motels, trailer parks, or camp grounds due to the lack of an adequate alternative; staying in shelters or transitional housing; or sleeping in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, or similar settings.
The local school district liaison coordinates services to ensure that homeless children and youths enroll in school and have the opportunity to succeed academically.
