A: The New Jersey McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program provides protection and services to children who are displaced or experiencing homelessness.  The goal of McKinney-Vento is to ensure homelessness is not a barrier to attending school, completing high school, and/or accessing services that can help avoid poverty and homelessness as an adult. If you believe a student is homeless or displaced and not connected to McKinney-Vento services, please contact the District Homeless Liaison.
