Liaisons Supporting Students Experiencing Homelessness

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