Homeless students- Under the Subtitle B of Title VII of the Mckinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, homeless children and youths means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.
Students in transition - children and youth who are in households that are usually one missed payment away from being homeless. Families may be in danger of being evicted because of lack of funds to pay rent. Students may have housing but may be living without utilities or food.
