McKinney-Vento ActMcKinney-Vento ActProgram Purpose
• Ensure homeless children and youth (HCY) have equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschool education, as provided to other children and youth
• Ensure access to education and other services needed to ensure that HCY have an opportunity to meet the same challenging State student academic achievement standards to which all students are held
• Facilitate the enrollment, attendance, and success in school of HCY
• Review and revise laws, regulations, practices, and policies that may act as barriers to the enrollment, attendance, and success in school of HCY

McKinney-Vento ActMcKinney-Vento ActDefinition of Homeless Students
• Individuals whose nighttime residence is NOT:
Fixed—stationary, permanent, and not subject to change
Regular—used on a predictable, routine, or consistent basis
Adequate—sufficient for meeting both the physical and psychological needs typically met in the home
(42 U.S.C.§11434A(2)(B)(i))
Can the student go to the SAME PLACE (fixed) EVERY NIGHT (regular) to sleep in a SAFE AND SUFFICIENT SPACE (adequate)?
