Education & Houselessness

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act ensures that children and youth who are experiencing homelessness have equal access to educational opportunities. In Oregon, the McKinney-Vento program provides resources and support to school districts to identify and assist students facing housing instability. This federal program empowers districts by offering funding, training, and guidance to ensure students can enroll in school immediately, attend classes without barriers, and succeed academically. Through services like transportation assistance, enrollment support, and access to resources, McKinney-Vento helps create a stable, supportive learning environment for every student, no matter their circumstances.
