Homeless Information

The term "homeless children and youths" are students:

• who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence,

• including:

  • children and youths who are sharing the housing of others (known as doubling-up) due to the loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals;

  • children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as regular sleeping accommodations for human beings;

  • children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings, and

  • migratory children who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described above.

If the residence is not fixed, regular, and adequate, it is considered a homeless situation.

The McKinney-Vento Act also recognizes unaccompanied youth who are homeless. According to the act, an unaccompanied youth is a youth not in the physical custody of a parent or legal guardian.

Adopted from the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Title VII, Subtitle B, Section 725(2) as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) 2015.

Students whose first language is not English and who qualify through the WIDA screener may be eligible for services. Please contact our office if you have questions or may be in need of services.
