McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law created to support the education of homeless students. The goal of the program is to remove the barriers to education that homeless youth often face. This is done by providing certain rights to families who are experiencing housing transition. Housing transition can mean that due to financial hardship your family is living in a hotel, a home where you have a mortgage or lease but the home is bug infested or has other conditions causing it to be inadequate for living, a vehicle, shelter, or living with friends and family without a lease.
