Homeless Education Directory

Jul 25, 2023 | Early Childhood, Higher Education, K-12, Resources

Under the McKinney-Vento Act, every local educational agency is required to designate a liaison for homeless children and youth. The local educational agency liaison coordinates services to ensure that homeless children and youth are identified and enrolled in school and have the opportunity to succeed academically.

Note: This contact information may change frequently due to staff turnover. If you have problems finding the right school district homeless liaison, please contact your state homeless education coordinator.

This directory now includes contact information for Head Start Collaboration Offices (To find a Child Care Resource & Referral Agency (CCR&R), click here) and for Homeless Higher Education Liaisons for those states that have designated homeless higher education liaisons.
