Education Without Barriers

At Wilson Elementary School District, we believe every child deserves a safe, stable, and supportive learning environment — no matter what their housing situation may be. Through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, we are here to ensure that students experiencing homelessness have full access to school, resources, and success.

If your family is facing housing challenges, you are not alone — and we are here to help.

 

Who Qualifies?

School-aged children may qualify for support under McKinney-Vento if they are:

• Living in a shelter, motel, or campground

• Sharing housing due to loss of housing or economic hardship (also called "doubled up")

• Living in a car, park, abandoned building, or other place not meant for regular housing

• Living in a motel or campground due to the lack of an alternative adequate accommodation

If you are unsure whether your family qualifies, reach out — we are here to listen and support with care and confidentiality.
