Liaisons Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness

The McKinney-Vento Act requires that community schools and traditional public school districts designate a homeless education liaison to help support students experiencing homelessness. Homeless education liaisons are responsible at the local level for supporting the identification, eligibility, enrollment, and access to academic and non-academic services for students experiencing homelessness.
