If you become aware of a student who might meet the qualifications for homelessness, you should contact the district's homeless liaison. This person is the designated point of contact responsible for assisting homeless students with access to education and related services. The homeless liaison can help evaluate the student's situation, provide necessary support, and connect them to resources according to the McKinney-Vento Act or relevant local policies.
In general, schools have designated homeless education liaisons who collaborate with families, youth, and school personnel to ensure that eligible students are identified and supported promptly. These liaisons handle enrollment issues, help secure immunizations and records, and connect students to emergency shelter or other community resources.
