Are you experiencing housing insecurity?

Many different living situations can qualify a student for aid:

• In a house or apartment with more than one family due to loss of housing or economic hardship.

• With friends, family, or others because the student is a runaway or an unaccompanied youth.

• In substandard housing (without electricity, heat, water, etc.).

• In a shelter (domestic violence, family, youth, transitional living program, etc.).

• In a motel, hotel, weekly rate housing.

• In an abandoned building, in a car, at a campground, or on the streets.

A student may:

• Participate fully in all school activities and programs as eligible.

• Receive transportation to and from the school of origin.

• Continue to attend the last- enrolled school even if the student has moved away from that school's attendance area.

A student must be enrolled in school immediately, even without required documents such as the following:

• Proof of residency

• Immunization records or other health records

• School records

• Legal guardianship papers
