For Liaisons
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act requires districts to ensure homeless students have access to education, and other necessary services, to meet the same high academic achievement standards as all students. All local school districts must designate a Homeless Liaison (42 U.S.C. 14432 (Section 722(g)(1)(J)(ii))). The California Department of Education (CDE) encourages a designated staff or representative at all school sites.
If you are new to the liaison role or need additional information, please take a look at the links below for reference. Remember you can reach OCDE HOPES Collaborative for help with any questions.
