Families in Transition
IF YOUR FAMILY LIVES IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS
By law, school-aged children in one of the following situations may be considered homeless if they are:
- Living in a shelter
- Living in campgrounds, temporarily trailers, or parks
- Living in an automobile
- Living in an abandoned building or public place
- Staying doubled up with friends or relatives, due to loss of housing from financial hardship
- Living in substandard housing (i.e. no running water, no electricity)
- Living in a transitional housing program
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act is a federal law that ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for homeless children and youth. McKinney-Vento provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting district programs that serve homeless students. If you qualify, you may be entitled to the food program and school transportation.
McKinney-Vento Eligibility is based on your answer on the Student Housing Questionnaire you submitted on Aeries
