As you may know the Elmhurst Wellness Team is sponsoring a drive for the 45 homeless students ranging from kindergarten to senior year at York High School.
In short “Homeless” is defined in the McKinney Vento Act as...
"individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence."
In long, the act provides examples as...
-Children and youth sharing housing due to loss of housing, economic hardship or a similar reason
-Children and youth living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camp grounds due to lack of alternative accommodations
-Children and youth living in emergency or transitional shelters
-Children and youth abandoned in hospitals
-Children and youth whose primary nighttime residence is not ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation (e.g. park benches, etc)
-Children and youth living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations
-Migratory children and youth living in any of the above situations
