McKinney-Vento Program

Families without stable, permanent, and adequate housing face enormous daily stressors. They may have been displaced from their housing because of a medical crisis, the loss of a job, or marital separation. Many families experiencing homelessness are staying temporarily with friends or family and may not know they qualify for services and supports.

The job of the McKinney-Vento staff here at PHS is to help remove educational barriers that may be preventing students from attending classes, connecting with the school, and not reaching their full academic potential.
