Tool Search: Homeless Services
The Homeless Services tool gives districts the ability to create Homeless Services records that are not tied to a student's enrollment records. Access to this tool can be limited to those who should have rights to see it.
Fields vary by state. Please see your state's State Tools articles for more information on Homeless procedures in your state.
The Document Upload tool was removed in Campus.2423. Any documents uploaded to Homeless Services have been relocated under the Homeless program.
