Homeless Resources

welcome

welcome

Finding safe and affordable housing is a fundamental need for families. In this section, we have gathered resources that offer housing assistance programs and services. From rental subsidies to outreach programs, these organizations are dedicated to helping low-income individuals and families secure stable housing. 
 
The McKinney-Vento- Education for Homeless Children & Youths Act provides protections for students who are unhoused/homeless, including enrollment rights (see below: Rights for Students Who Are Unhoused).  TRUSD supports the enrollment, attendance, and achievement of students who are experiencing homelessness to ensure they receive equal access to educational opportunities.
Definition of Students who are Unhoused / Homeless

Definition of Students who are Unhoused / Homeless

Students who have lost their housing are defined as unhoused/homeless if they lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This includes living in: emergency shelters or transitional housing programs; a public/private place that is not designed for or normally used as a place for sleeping (cars, parks/public places, abandoned/condemned buildings, bus stations, etc); motel/hotel, campground, or travel trailer due to a lack of alternative adequate accommodations; temporarily moved in with others due to a loss of housing or financial problems (eviction, job loss, etc).  This also includes students who live in the above situations and who are unaccompanied youth, runaways, children abandoned in hospitals, and migratory children.
