What is the Homelessness and the McKinney-Vento Law?

The McKinney-Vento Definition of Homeless

Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

Per Title IX, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act defines homeless as follows individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence (within the meaning of section 103(a)(1)); and

• Includes--
  • Children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack  of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals;
  • Children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings (within the meaning of section 103(a)(2)(C));
  • Children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and
  • Migratory children (as such term is defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) who qualify as homeless for the purposes of this subtitle because the children are living in circumstances described in clauses above.

Enrollment of Homeless Students

Even if you have:                                                

• Uncertain housing
• A temporary address
• No permanent physical address

You are guaranteed enrollment in school by the federal McKinney­ Vento Act and California state law if you live:

• In substandard housing (without electricity, water, or heat)
• In a shelter (family, domestic violence, or youth shelter or transitional living program)
• In a motel, hotel, or weekly rate housing

You can enroll in school immediately even without the documents normally required for enrollment, such as:

• Proof of residency
• Immunization records or other required health records
• School records
• Legal guardianship papers

Your child may:

• Participate fully in all school activities and programs for which they are eligible
• Receive transportation to and from the school of origin if you request it
• Continue to attend the school in which they were last enrolled even if you have moved away from that school's attendance area
• Qualify automatically for school nutrition programs

Your responsibilities are to:

• Make sure your child gets to school on time and ready to learn
• Stay informed of school rules, regulations, and activities
• Contact the homeless liaison for assistance in removing barriers to your child's education
• Attend parent/teacher conferences, Back-to-School Nights, and other school-related activities
