Tool Search: Homeless
The Homeless tool records basic homeless information. The list of homeless records is sorted by Start Date.
Homeless is defined as children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This includes students who are sharing the housing of other persons due to a loss of housing, economic hardship or similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks or campgrounds due to lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals. The definition includes migratory students who live in the aforementioned situations.
