Homeless Information

In 1987, Congress passed the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act to aid homeless persons.  The Act defines the term “homeless children and youths” as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.  On October 1, 2016, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was enacted, amending McKinney-Vento.
