McKinney Vento - Homeless Students and Family Support

The McKinney Vento Act is a Federal Law providing support services to youth and families who are experiencing homelessness. The Federal definition of Homelessness is: "Lacking fixed, regular or adequate living arrangements". The majority of these families and youth find themselves "Doubled Up" with another family member or friend's home they own or lease. At times these individuals may also be living in Homeless Shelters, Hotels / Motels, Park Grounds, their vehicles or elsewhere.
