McKinney-Vento Education Program

The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children as "individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence." Students meet the definition for McKinney-Vento status if their dwelling arrangement/primary night time residence is:

• a shelter

• doubled-up (sharing the housing of others due to loss of housing, economic hardship)

• unsheltered (cars, parks, campgrounds, abandoned buildings, and substandard/inadequate housing)

• a hotel/motel

Supports and services available to a student experiencing homelessness may include:

• Transportation to and from school

• School food; breakfast and lunch

• Title 1 educational services
