The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act ensures that children who are considered homeless or in-transition have the same educational rights and protection as any other school children.
You or your child is considered homeless or in-transition if you do not live in a fixed, regular and adequate night-time residence, including:
- Shared housing due to loss of housing
- Living in cars, parks, sub-standard housing, hotels or motels
- Primary night-time residence is a public or private place not designed for regular sleeping
- Students awaiting foster care placement
- Migratory children living in the above circumstances
