McKinney Vento Homeless Youth Program

McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act Overview 

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (MV) (42 U.S.C. § 11431-11435) is federal legislation that ensures the educational rights and protections of children and youths experiencing homelessness. It requires all local educational agencies (LEAs), public school districts, direct-funded and locally funded charter schools, and county offices of education to ensure that homeless students (between 0-24 years of age, preschool to 12th grade) have access to the same free, appropriate public education, including public preschools.
