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 - with recognition that it is difficult to capture every housing situation. 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 Family Advocate here at PHS is to identify and support students who qualify for McKinney-Vento by removing barriers around educational enrollment, attendance and success. | Additional Information on the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act |
