It's What's Best for Kids

McKinney-Vento

McKinney-Vento

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act ensures that students experiencing homelessness have access to a free, equitable, and quality education. It guarantees the right to attend school without barriers, including transportation to their school of origin and immediate enrollment, even without typical documentation. The law provides support to help these students succeed academically by offering resources like school supplies and additional services, helping to minimize disruptions caused by housing instability.
