The McKinney-Vento Act provides rights and services to children and youth experiencing homelessness.  This includes those who are:

• sharing the house of others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason.
• staying in motels, trailer parks, or campgrounds due to lack of an inadequate alternative.
• staying in shelters or transitional housing; or sleeping in cars, parks, abandoned buildings, substandard housing or similar settings.
