Is there any state or federal money available to help implement the provisions of McKinney-Vento?
Currently, there is no additional state funding available for McKinney-Vento. However, there is federal funding available through McKinney-Vento in the form of competitive subgrants to school districts. The program is highly competitive and awards one or three-year grants of up to $55,000 per year to school districts that facilitate the attendance and success of homeless preschoolers, children, and youth. Generally, these districts have established strong ties to community agencies and are able to demonstrate that they have gone above and beyond the provisions of McKinney-Vento in ensuring academic success for homeless students.
