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; living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or campgrounds due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations; living in emergency or transitional shelters; or being abandoned in hospitals. The definition includes migratory students.
