McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act

Are you currently experiencing temporary living arrangements due to eviction, job loss, or a traumatic event? Laveen Elementary School District offers services to families through the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The act requires that children and families who are in a temporary living situation be offered services and support such as enrollment assistance, nutrition services, clothing or school supplies, community referrals, and in some cases, transportation.

If you are living in any of the following temporary circumstances, you may fit the criteria for assistance under this act which includes:

  • Living in a shelter
  • Living in transitional housing
  • Living in a hotel/motel
  • Living in a situation that is the lack of fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence
