What is the McKinney Vento Program? The McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth program is designed to address problems that homeless children and youth may face when enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under this program, state educational agencies must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschool education, as other children and youth.

Does my student qualify? The McKinney-Vento Act defines the term undefinedhomeless children and youthsundefined as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence, including: children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals; children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings; children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings
