The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act was passed to help people experiencing homelessness. The federal law includes the Education of Homeless Children and Youth Program that entitles children who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence to a free, appropriate education and requires schools to remove barriers to their enrollment, attendance and success in school. The McKinney-Vento Program meets the needs of enrolled homeless students attending Neuse Charter School by addressing academic challenges and family issues affecting their success in school.
