The Homeless Services program supports the enrollment, attendance
and achievement of homeless students to ensure they receive equal
access to educational opportunities. Specific services include
assistance in the following areas: school enrollment and
attendance, special school programs, records retrieval, school
supplies, hygiene supplies, uniform and clothing referrals,
health/immunizations, housing and community agency referrals, and
emergency transportation assistance.
Students who have lost their permanent housing are defined as
homeless when they lack a fixed, permanent, and adequate
nighttime residence. This may include shelters, transitional
housing programs, temporary housing, motel/hotels, cars and
travel trailers, the street or other public places, or living in
places not suitable for or normally used as a nighttime
residence, etc.
