Homeless Students
Homelessness is broadly defined to include (but is not limited to) a child who lacks a fixed regular and adequate nighttime residence. A child is deemed to be homeless if the child lives in a transition shelter, hotel or motel, is awaiting foster care, and/or is sharing the house of other persons due to loss of housing or economic necessity.
