McKinney-Vento Homeless Resources for Awareness

The purpose of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Children and Youth Program is to ensure that all children and youth, including preschoolers, have equal access to the same free and appropriate public education, as non-homeless children and youth.

In the 2019-2020 school year, Ohio had 23,885 students experiencing homelessness.
