The McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children and Youth Assistance Act is a federal law that ensures immediate enrollment and educational stability for homeless children and youth. McKinney-Vento provides federal funding to states for the purpose of supporting district programs that serve homeless students.
Students and parents who think they might be eligible for support under the McKinney-Vento Act should contact a Liaison and ask!
Visit the WA Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s website for more resources and information for homeless students.
