McKinney-Vento Program Resources

What happens if my family is in a temporary housing situation?

The Eau Claire Area School District is committed to providing a welcoming environment for all families, no matter their housing situation. Families that are in a living situation that qualifies as homeless, as defined by the McKinney Vento federal law have rights and access to resources. Eligible temporary housing situations include:

  • Persons sharing housing due to loss of housing, economic hardship or similar reasons

  • Primary residence is motel, hotel, trailer park or campground

  • Living in an emergency or transitional shelter unit

  • Abandoned in hospital

  • Primary nighttime residence is public or private place not designed for sleeping

  • Living in a car, park, public space, abandoned building, bus or train station, or similar settings

  • Living in substandard housing (residence lacks essential elements making it inadequate for human habitation)
  • Migratory children who are living in the situations described above

 

Don't let lack of documentation keep you from enrolling! Call our Homeless Liason for more information.
