Overview

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Act (Section 725) defines "homeless children and youth" (school age and younger) as children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, including those who are:

• sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason
• living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, cars, public places, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, camping grounds or similar settings due to the lack of alternative accommodations
• living in emergency or transitional shelters; abandoned in hospitals; or awaiting foster placement
• migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are living in circumstances described above
• unaccompanied youth, including any youth not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian, such as runaways; throwaways, and school-age unwed mothers, living in homes for unwed mothers, who have no other housing available
