Homeless Assistance

The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law that protects the educational rights of students experiencing homelessness. Our McKinney-Vento team includes Community Facilitator Lynn Farinha, our bi-lingual facilitators, and Administrative Assistant Cheryl Lyons under the supervision of Director of Student Services Stephanie Hoye. 


Our team can provide quick and immediate help with: 

  • Enrollment and registration
  • Clothing
  • Access to food pantries
  • Basic hygiene necessities
  • Public Transportation
  • Connecting with community agencies

Families who are experiencing homelessness should contact their student’s principal or school counselor to begin services.
