• MCKINNEY-VENTO ACT:

    EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN
    EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS

  • Right to Education for ALL Children

  • Every Local Education Agency (LEA) or school district must designate an appropriate staff person as a local Homeless Education Liaison.  Local Liaisons must ensure that:

    • Children and youth in homeless situations are identified;
    • They are enrolled in, and have full and equal opportunity to succeed in, the schools of the LEA; and
    • They and their families receive educational services for which they are eligible.

     

     

  • The Homeless Liaison at the Education Service Center (ESC) will assist LEAs in the identification and service of homeless students.  The ESC will also provide trainings and resources for district Homeless Liaisons.

    For questions concerning children or youth experiencing homelessness, please contact:
