Resources for families of unhoused students are critical in helping them navigate the challenges of instability while ensuring that children continue to receive an education. Schools often provide support through specialized staff, such as homeless liaisons, who help connect families with available services, including temporary housing, food assistance, and access to healthcare. Federal and state programs, such as the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, ensure that homeless students have the right to attend school and receive transportation, despite their living situations. Additionally, local organizations, shelters, and nonprofits may offer emergency housing, financial aid, and counseling services. These resources help families find stability and create a supportive environment for children, addressing both their immediate needs and long-term well-being.
