Supporting the Education of Unaccompanied Homeless Students

Homelessness is a devastating circumstance for any child or youth, but for youth on their own, the stresses of homelessness are multiplied. This brief, developed by National Center for Homeless Education, provides specific information about the rights and supports available to unaccompanied homeless students under the McKinney-Vento Act. It is designed to assist youth advocates, educational systems, and service providers to support homeless and other youth in vulnerable situations to be engaged in pursuing their education.
