McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children and Youth-Year 1 Competitive
The purpose of the McKinney-Vento EHCY grant program is to support state and federal efforts through the establishment of regional partnership projects that will: 1) provide leadership and technical assistance in this area to the schools within the region; and 2) coordinate and provide (when possible) supplemental academic programs and support services to children and youth experiencing homelessness attending schools within the region. For each regional project it is expected that, to the extent possible, all identified children and youth experiencing homelessness within the region will be served.
The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) has established this three-year grant program to create partnerships between a local education agency (LEA) and service agencies located in each of the four regions of the state to coordinate and provide supplemental academic programs and support services to children and youth experiencing homelessness residing in the partnership’s regional area. The regional McKinney-Vento projects will also identify and establish partnerships with regional service providers, state and county resources, and community-based and social service organizations, to assist LEAs in providing supplemental services and making referrals to appropriate agencies to enable all children and youth experiencing homelessness in the partnership’s regional area to meet the challenging State content and student performance standards.
The McKinney-Vento EHCY program is open to New Jersey LEAs. One award will be made per region. Award sizes vary based on region.
