McKinney–Vento (Homeless Assistance, NCLB Title X, Part C). The New York State Education Department provides resources by which local educational agencies (LEAs) can offer the essential services needed for those children and youth who are homeless. SED requires that LEAs designate a local liaison for homeless children and youth. This Program provides the services needed to facilitate the enrollment, attendance and success in schooling of children who are homeless. Priority is given to those districts or consortia that emphasize collaboration between schools and agencies, schools servicing large numbers of homeless children in underserved communities and programs that supplement existing State reform initiatives.
