McKinney-Vento Act - Students Experiencing Homelessness

 

Bremerton School District's homeless program ensures students have access to education and can fully participate in school.  We encourage student's education by removing barriers that would limit their ability to fully engage and participate in school activities and events.  We strive to partner with families to stay involved in their student's education by providing resources and community referrals to assist with educational support services and basic needs.

If you lost your housing and now live in a shelter, motel, vehicle, camping ground, or temporary trailer; on the street; doubled-up with family or friends due to loss of housing or economic hardship; or in another type of temporary or inadequate housing, your child might be able to receive help through a federal law called the McKinney-Vento Act.
