Serving McKinney-Vento | Homeless 

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act identifies and removes barriers for children and youth experiencing homelessness and ensures that students in these circumstances have equitable access to all available supports and resources to meet the same challenging state academic standards established for all students.

The McKinney-Vento Act provides rights and services to children and youth experiencing homelessness. This 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 campgrounds 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.
