The McKinney-Vento Act is a federal law that aims to remove barriers to education for children and youth experiencing homelessness. Students experiencing homelessness lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and includes children and youths who:

• Share the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason

• Live in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations

• Live in emergency or transitional shelters

• Are abandoned in hospitals

• Have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not normally used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings

• Living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings

• Are migratory and qualify as homeless because they are living in circumstances described in the above situations
