Housing Insecurity Support (McKinney-Vento)

Staunton City Schools is committed to the education of homeless children and youth. We believe all children can be successful in school and we are here to help.

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act of 2001 (Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act) helps ensure equal educational access for homeless children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. The term "homeless children and youth" includes:

Children and youth who are:

  • sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason (sometimes referred to as doubled-up);
  • living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to lack of alternative adequate accommodations;
  • living in emergency or transitional shelters;
  • abandoned in hospitals; or
  • awaiting foster care placement;

Children and youth 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;

Children and youth who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and

Migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are living in circumstances described above.

Unaccompanied youth, not in the physical custody of a parent/guardian.
