McKinney-Vento

If you or someone you know have lost their housing and now live in a shelter, motel, vehicle, campground, or temporary trailer, on the street, with family or friends (doubled-up), or in another type of temporary or inadequate housing, your child may be able to receive help through a federal law called the McKinney-Vento Act. Please fill out our Federal Programs Referral form. Any and all information is confidential.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released new McKinney-Vento posters. There are two versions of the poster, one to assist parents of school-age youth and a second to assist unaccompanied youth. The posters are available in both English and Spanish.

Local Education Agencies (LEAs) can download the digital files below and post this information on their LEA homeless education program webpage. LEAs should collaborate with their school staff and community partners (e.g. food pantries, faith-based organizations, local housing authorities, shelters, etc.) to share printed copies of this poster.
