Schooling Options and Housing Insecurity
Updated May 31st, 2022
Are you experiencing housing insecurity?
Many different living situations can qualify a student for aid:
• In a house or apartment with more than one family due to loss of housing or economic hardship.
• With friends, family, or others because they are a runaway or an unaccompanied youth.
• In substandard housing (without electricity, water, heat, etc.).
• In a shelter (family, domestic violence, youth, transitional living program, etc.).
• In a motel, hotel, weekly rate housing. • In an abandoned building, in a car, at a campground, or on the streets.
A student may:
• Participate fully in all school activities and programs as eligible.
• Receive transportation to and from the school of origin.
• Continue to attend the last-enrolled school even if the student has moved away from that school’s attendance area.
• Qualify automatically for school nutrition programs.
A student must be enrolled in school immediately, even without required documents such as:
• Proof of residency.
• Immunization records or other health records.
• School records.
• Legal guardianship papers
