The list of homeless records is sorted by Start Date.

Previously, homeless fields were stored on the Enrollment tab. Using a separate homeless tab allows these records to have more accurate dates representing the student's period of homelessness.

The homeless tab includes the following fields:

FieldDescription
Homeless Nighttime ResidenceThe nighttime residence of the homeless student.
Unaccompanied YouthIndication of whether the student is unaccompanied by a parent/guardian.
McKinney VentoIndication of whether the homeless student is being served by a McKinney-Vento program.
Start DateThe first day the student was considered to be homeless.
End DateThe last day the student was considered to be homeless.
