Student Homelessness in America: School Years 2018-19 to 2020-21

The purpose of Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (McKinney-Vento Act) is to ensure that students who experience homelessness have access to the education and other services they need to succeed academically. Each year, states submit information regarding the education of students who experienced homelessness to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) as a part of the EDFacts Initiative. Using the most recently available data, this brief examines the number of students who experienced homelessness, the type of housing they used when first identified by school districts, and subgroups of students who experienced homelessness. This report presents state and national totals with longitudinal comparisons. While the primary audiences for this report are state coordinators and local school district liaisons, the information in this report may be of interest to other administrators, policymakers, educators, and service providers.
