Homeless Services

If you or your family live in any of the following situations:

• In a Shelter

• In a motel or campground due to lack of an alternative adequate accommodation

• In a car, park, abandoned building, or bus/train station

• Doubled up with other people due to loss of housing or economic hardship

You may qualify for certain rights and protections under the federal McKinney-Vento Act.

Eligible students have the right to:

• Enroll in school immediately, even if lacking certain documents needed for enrollment

• Enroll in local school; or continue attending their school of origin (the school in which they were last enrolled)

• Receive transportation, if needed

• Receive educational services comparable to those provided to other students

If you believe you may be eligible, contact the local liaison to find out what services and supports may be available.
