McKinney Vento Act/Families in Transition

McKinney Vento Act / Families in Transition

“Homeless” as such term is defined under Federal (the McKinney-Vento Act, 42 U.S.C. 11431) and Illinois (the Illinois Education for Homeless Children Act, 105 ILCS 45/1-1, or IEHCA) laws. Under both Illinois and federal law, school districts have an affirmative duty to identify homeless families within the district. The ISBE Homelessness Policy is available online.
