McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Act provides assistance to states to help ensure educational rights and protections for children and young people experiencing homelessness. Consistent with the McKinney-Vento Act, children experiencing homelessness are to be provided services comparable to those received by other students in the school they attend including transportation and educational programs for which students would otherwise be ineligible.
