McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law that provides support for children and youth experiencing homelessness. It ensures they have access to stable education by allowing them to enroll in school immediately without barriers such as proof of residency or guardianship issues. The law also offers resources like transportation, counseling, and housing assistance to help students stay connected to their education and stability. Its goal is to remove barriers caused by homelessness and promote equal educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their housing situation.
