Update on Homeless Education

Dear Homeless Education Liaisons:

Some of you that are on the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE) list serve may have already received this information about updated guidance.

Late last week, the U.S. Department of Education released updated Non-Regulatory Guidance for the Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) Program. The direct link to the updated Guidance is https://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/essa/160240ehcyguidance072716updated0317.pdf.   The updated guidance reflects the addition of questions J-10, J-11, and J-12. 

There is also an updated Federal Register Notice dated March 2017 and the following link. https://www2.ed.gov/programs/homeless/legislation.html

More resources are available on the NCHE website at https://nche.ed.gov/

As always, feel free to contact me if you need assistance with homeless education issues. 

Have a good week,

Sandy Johnson
