Homeless and Homeless Services (New York)

Homeless

Tool Search: Homeless

The Homeless tool records basic homeless information as well as district-defined fields. Previously, homeless fields were stored on the Enrollment tool. Using a separate homeless tool allows these records to have more accurate dates representing the student's period of homelessness.

Further information about these fields is described below.

See the core Homeless article for information on creating a record, Ad hoc fields, tool rights information, and more.
