Priority placement is offered to all children who meet the definition of “homeless” established by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 2001.

"Homeless" is defined as families in transition, who lack a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence. Also, a child who is not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian is considered an “unaccompanied youth” under the McKinney-Vento Act. A child may qualify as homeless if the child is:

1. Living in a “doubled-up” situation (two or more families living together) due to the family’s loss of housing, economic hardship or a similar reason

2. Living in a temporary arrangement due to the lack of adequate accommodations (e.g., car, motel, hotel, trailer park or camping grounds, or public place)

3. Living in an emergency or transition shelter

4. Living with a family member, or a non-family member, who is not the legal guardian of the child

5. Living in a nighttime residence, not under the name of the parent or legal guardian.

If any of these conditions reflect your families current living situation, please mark "YES" to the question below.
