Background:
|
At the September 29, 2022 Board Meeting, Resolution 2223R-008 by Director O'Halloran on National Runway Prevention Month was introduced.
Milwaukee Public Schools offers services to families and students experiencing homelessness through school-based and centrally-based programs.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (M-VHA) defines children and youth experiencing homelessness as “individuals who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.” This definition includes children and youth who have lost housing due to economic difficulties and are sharing the housing of others (doubled-up); living in motels, hotels, transitional, or emergency shelters; or, whose nighttime residence is a place not normally used for housing. Migratory and unaccompanied children and youth whose living situation meets this definition of homelessness are eligible for services under the Act as well.
Children and youth who meet the McKinney-Vento definition of homelessness have rights and are eligible for services under the Act. A few examples include access to free school meals, school supplies, school fee waivers, and the right to stay in the school of origin, prior to becoming homeless.
