A great challenge for schools is accurately counting all students who are unhoused, and learning that the majority are doubled-up can help guide the conversations they have with students. Plus, this information can help officials and liaisons seek resources specific to doubled-up students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and why does it matter for doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legislation/mckinney-vento/\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act\u003c/a> is a federal law that requires every public school to count the number of students who are living on the street, in shelters, in motels, in cars, doubled-up with other families or moving among friends’ and relatives’ homes. It mandates that every school district, county office of education and charter school hire a local liaison who must ensure that unhoused youth are identified and coordinate education services to increase their chances of succeeding academically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This law defines unhoused students, in part, as “children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, doubled-up students can receive McKinney-Vento resources and support to help continue their education as they face housing insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What resources are students eligible for if they are identified as unhoused under McKinney-Vento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These students can remain enrolled in their “school of origin” and get state-funded transportation, if it’s decided that’s in their best interest, for the entire time they remain unhoused and through the end of the academic year during which they secure permanent housing. The “school of origin” includes schools that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The student attended when permanently housed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student was last enrolled in when they became unhoused.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student has had some sort of connection to within the last 15 months.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>If a student is not already enrolled in school, they must be enrolled immediately even if they do not have the typically required documents or if they missed an application deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional resources can include replacement identification cards or birth certificates, free access to after-school programs and referrals to free immunizations. The goal is to ensure that unhoused students do not face challenges in completing coursework that would make them eligible to apply for college, in remaining enrolled in school, and in accessing extracurricular activities, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges in identifying doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness is defined differently across various laws. A primary challenge for school staff is understanding the differences between how the McKinney-Vento law and the Department of Housing and Urban Development \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/11302\">define homelessness\u003c/a>. McKinney-Vento makes it easier to include doubled-up students as unhoused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said that some of the most common questions she receives from school staff are about whether a student might be doubled-up or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to listen to each individual scenario because it is a case-by-case determination, and there are always little nuances that you have to listen really carefully to determine whether the student is eligible or not,” said Moore, whose team \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/resources/\">regularly hosts webinars\u003c/a> to help school staff better understand student homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, it comes down to whether a student’s loss of housing was the result of a sudden crisis or a planned event. But learning those details highlights another challenge: gaining the trust of students and their guardians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust is critical for a student and their guardian to feel comfortable disclosing their housing situation. While a liaison or other school staff member might notice red flags that could indicate homelessness, this isn’t always possible, leaving the student to self-identify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the school staff member who gained that trust might leave their position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems that we’re seeing across the country is there has been a tremendous amount of turnover among liaisons and among state coordinators,” Moore said. She recommends that liaisons share with colleagues strategies for identifying and supporting students to lessen the impact of staff turnover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can schools and staff support students they think might be doubled-up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An initial step is understanding what doubled-up means and sharing that information with students and families, said Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even once students are identified, however, McKinney-Vento has been found to fall short of fully supporting unhoused students. A 2020 UCLA report found that just 9% of school districts in California “received federal funding from the McKinney-Vento Act to meet the mandates of the law.” This means that \u003ca href=\"https://oshi-la.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cts-state-of-crisis-report.pdf\">only 1 in 3 unhoused students are attending schools with dedicated funding to support their education (PDF)\u003c/a>, which could include transportation to get them to their school of origin, providing ongoing basic needs such as food and toiletries, and the funding needed to hire a school liaison full-time (\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/liaisons-play-pivotal-role-in-connecting-california-homeless-children-to-services/667682\">liaisons typically do this work in addition to another staff role\u003c/a> on their campus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://schoolhouseconnection.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FINAL-FY23-RHYA-EHCY-Letter.pdf\">federal lawmakers have called for increases in dedicated funding (PDF)\u003c/a>, but those efforts are stalled in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is a student always considered unhoused if living in shared housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. If two families are living under the same roof due to mutual benefit, they likely will not be considered unhoused. This is sometimes the case with multigenerational homes. But if that mutual benefit occurs due to a loss of housing, economic hardship or similar crisis, then they would be identified as unhoused. Understanding those nuances poses a challenge for liaisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Public schools across the US have found that around one million children are experiencing homelessness, according to the US Department of Education.

Plus, this information can help officials and liaisons seek resources specific to doubled-up students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and why does it matter for doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/legislation/mckinney-vento/\">McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act\u003c/a> is a federal law that requires every public school to count the number of students who are living on the street, in shelters, in motels, in cars, doubled-up with other families or moving among friends’ and relatives’ homes. It mandates that every school district, county office of education and charter school hire a local liaison who must ensure that unhoused youth are identified and coordinate education services to increase their chances of succeeding academically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This law defines unhoused students, in part, as “children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, doubled-up students can receive McKinney-Vento resources and support to help continue their education as they face housing insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What resources are students eligible for if they are identified as unhoused under McKinney-Vento?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These students can remain enrolled in their “school of origin” and get state-funded transportation, if it’s decided that’s in their best interest, for the entire time they remain unhoused and through the end of the academic year during which they secure permanent housing. The “school of origin” includes schools that:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The student attended when permanently housed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student was last enrolled in when they became unhoused.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The student has had some sort of connection to within the last 15 months.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>If a student is not already enrolled in school, they must be enrolled immediately even if they do not have the typically required documents or if they missed an application deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additional resources can include replacement identification cards or birth certificates, free access to after-school programs and referrals to free immunizations. The goal is to ensure that unhoused students do not face challenges in completing coursework that would make them eligible to apply for college, in remaining enrolled in school, and in accessing extracurricular activities, among other things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges in identifying doubled-up students?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness is defined differently across various laws. A primary challenge for school staff is understanding the differences between how the McKinney-Vento law and the Department of Housing and Urban Development \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/11302\">define homelessness\u003c/a>. McKinney-Vento makes it easier to include doubled-up students as unhoused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moore said that some of the most common questions she receives from school staff are about whether a student might be doubled-up or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We try to listen to each individual scenario because it is a case-by-case determination, and there are always little nuances that you have to listen really carefully to determine whether the student is eligible or not,” said Moore, whose team \u003ca href=\"https://nche.ed.gov/resources/\">regularly hosts webinars\u003c/a> to help school staff better understand student homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, it comes down to whether a student’s loss of housing was the result of a sudden crisis or a planned event. But learning those details highlights another challenge: gaining the trust of students and their guardians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust is critical for a student and their guardian to feel comfortable disclosing their housing situation. While a liaison or other school staff member might notice red flags that could indicate homelessness, this isn’t always possible, leaving the student to self-identify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the school staff member who gained that trust might leave their position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the problems that we’re seeing across the country is there has been a tremendous amount of turnover among liaisons and among state coordinators,” Moore said. She recommends that liaisons share with colleagues strategies for identifying and supporting students to lessen the impact of staff turnover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How can schools and staff support students they think might be doubled-up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An initial step is understanding what doubled-up means and sharing that information with students and families, said Moore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even once students are identified, however, McKinney-Vento has been found to fall short of fully supporting unhoused students. A 2020 UCLA report found that just 9% of school districts in California “received federal funding from the McKinney-Vento Act to meet the mandates of the law.” This means that \u003ca href=\"https://oshi-la.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/cts-state-of-crisis-report.pdf\">only 1 in 3 unhoused students are attending schools with dedicated funding to support their education (PDF)\u003c/a>, which could include transportation to get them to their school of origin, providing ongoing basic needs such as food and toiletries, and the funding needed to hire a school liaison full-time (\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/liaisons-play-pivotal-role-in-connecting-california-homeless-children-to-services/667682\">liaisons typically do this work in addition to another staff role\u003c/a> on their campus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some \u003ca href=\"https://schoolhouseconnection.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FINAL-FY23-RHYA-EHCY-Letter.pdf\">federal lawmakers have called for increases in dedicated funding (PDF)\u003c/a>, but those efforts are stalled in Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is a student always considered unhoused if living in shared housing?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. If two families are living under the same roof due to mutual benefit, they likely will not be considered unhoused. This is sometimes the case with multigenerational homes. But if that mutual benefit occurs due to a loss of housing, economic hardship or similar crisis, then they would be identified as unhoused. Understanding those nuances poses a challenge for liaisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11937426/quick-guide-most-unhoused-students-are-doubled-up-heres-what-that-means-and-how-to-help","authors":["byline_news_11937426"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_27203","news_20262","news_32269","news_30602"],"featImg":"news_11937435","label":"source_news_11937426"},"news_11763861":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11763861","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11763861","score":null,"sort":[1564774764000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"san-jose-state-could-turn-this-building-into-housing-but-who-should-get-to-live-there","title":"San Jose State Could Turn This Building Into Housing – But Who Should Get to Live There?","publishDate":1564774764,"format":"audio","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>In the midst of the Bay Area’s housing crisis, San Jose State University may get a gift it could never afford today: an office building near campus, ripe for razing and replacing with apartments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the heart of downtown San Jose, a block from SJSU's campus, sits the state-owned Alfred E.

While California provides more financial aid for non-tuition expenses than other states, the grants have failed to keep up with the state’s rising cost of living. One in ten California State University students say they have been homeless at some point in the past year, \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/student-success/basic-needs-initiative/Documents/BasicNeedsStudy_phaseII_withAccessibilityComments.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to campus surveys\u003c/a>.

So instead, he’d rented a room in a private home, paying $425 per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says when he was asked to leave after a dispute with a housemate, he’d just spent about $2,000 to fix his car so he could commute back and forth to school. Another housing option fell through, Chavez says, and he was out the $225 he’d put down as the security deposit. Meanwhile, bills were piling up: $174 for a semester-long parking permit, $600 for textbooks. His part-time job providing home care for an elderly woman helped, but the hours were irregular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he ended up bunking in the cramped car—a familiar feeling. As a child, he and his mother had slept in their car for a month after she and his father split up. Now, they talked by phone every day. Unemployed after a workplace accident, she lacked money to send him for rent. When she heard about his living situation, she couldn’t stop sobbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first week, I was really emotional,” Chavez says. “I started to panic but then I thought, I have to get my head on straight. I gotta lose weight, so I can be in the (ROTC) program, go to class, and I gotta find a place to live because my mom is crying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He describes how he started rationing food to save money, sometimes eating just once in a day, like he had when he was training as a high school wrestler. “If I could do it once, I could do it again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the past two years, California has seen a burgeoning movement to address students’ living expenses. The state Legislature set aside $7.5 million last year to fight campus hunger, and colleges have started food pantries and meal-sharing programs, signed up students for food stamps and created apps to notify them about leftover catering food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is way ahead of the rest of the nation,” in addressing students’ basic needs, said Temple University education policy professor Sara Goldrick-Rab, a leading expert on the non-tuition costs of college. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11660332 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic.png 700w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic-160x175.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic-240x262.png 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic-375x409.png 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/STUDENT-HOUSING_Graphic-520x568.png 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet finding affordable housing for the state’s 2.7 million public college and university students poses a more stubborn challenge than fighting campus hunger, experts say. The solutions come with higher price tags. Increasingly older than 25, California students sometimes can’t count on parental support and may even have dependents of their own. With students living both on campus and off, alone or with families, every situation is unique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hunger issue seems to be lower-hanging fruit,” said Shahera Hyatt. “What I’ve seen on college campuses is that there’s a lot less knowledge on housing and homelessness and how to address it and how to talk about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month Assemblyman Marc Berman, a Palo Alto Democrat, convened a \u003ca href=\"https://a24.asmdc.org/third-select-committee-hearing-march-1-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hearing\u003c/a> on the state’s Master Plan for Higher Education—the 1960 document that laid out a blueprint for providing affordable, high-quality education to Californians by dividing responsibility among the University of California and California State University systems plus community colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Billed as a discussion on how well the Master Plan served today’s students, the Fresno hearing quickly turned into a teach-in about student hunger and homelessness. After starting off the evening with jokes, lawmakers turned somber as student after student stepped to the microphone to share stories of commuting more than 50 miles to school, or working three jobs to afford rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, as far as our landlord knows, we have eight people living in our little blue apartment,” UC Santa Barbara junior Spencer Brandt told legislators. “But in reality, anywhere from 10 to 13 people are crammed into two bedrooms and one garage on any given night—some who are additional sub-leasers, some who are friends, some who are experiencing homelessness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California needs a Master Plan for students’ basic needs, added UC Riverside student Lennin Kuri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students who walk into Danielle Muñoz’s Sacramento State office are met with aromatherapy-scented air and a pile of healthy snacks. As the campus’s sole student services case manager, Muñoz helps stressed-out students navigate the local housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school maintains on-campus dorm rooms for just over 2,100 students on a campus of 30,000. Like Chavez, most students can’t afford to live in the dorms, Muñoz says, which cost $700 to $1200 per month, not including meals—and off-campus apartments aren’t much cheaper. Last semester, Muñoz awarded 30 low-income students emergency grants—double the number from the semester before—to spend on security deposits, temporary housing and other urgent needs. They’re paid for by donations from alumni. The university also sets aside four dorm beds for homeless students to use for up to 30 days while they look for a permanent place, and connects some with community members who have volunteered to provide housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students dealing with housing issues often miss class, Muñoz says. “They’re either gripped by their insecurity, they’re out looking for housing or they don’t have money for gas. That’s what I try to focus on: how can I get you to class sooner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Muñoz says she feels stymied by a housing market in which the median two-bedroom apartment in the zip code nearest to campus rents for more than $2,000. What her students really need, she says, is a tiered rental system that takes into account what they can pay, and nonprofit developers to build more units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She estimates that the average low-income student gets back $4,000 to $6,000 in financial aid per semester after paying tuition. If they spent 30 percent on housing, the nationally-recognized standard for “affordable,” that would amount to $300 to $500 per month. But it’s close to impossible to find housing for that amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you get into a place around here that caters to students and you go sign a lease and it’s $1,000 for one month—that’s where I feel like a David facing Goliath.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because support for struggling students is often privately funded, and campuses have flexibility on what to implement, \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/student-success/basic-needs-initiative/Documents/CSU-Basic-Needs-Action-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">services vary widely from campus to campus\u003c/a>. Humboldt State has started a home-share program that matches students with elderly residents, reducing housing costs for both. At Chico State, students can access free hotel vouchers for short-term stays, and the campus will co-sign apartment leases. UCLA in 2016 opened a shelter run by and for students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leadership on some other campuses, however, has been less aggressive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the macro level, there are some signs policymakers are taking students’ housing woes more seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California has pledged to add 14,000 housing beds by 2020 and says it is on track to exceed that goal if current projects move forward as planned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature is considering a bill that would extend density bonuses to developers who build student housing, allowing them to add up to 35 percent more units than zoning typically allows if they designate at least one-fifth of the beds for low-income students. Students could use the information from their federal financial-aid application to qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many California college students live in some of the most expensive housing markets in the state, like Berkeley, Santa Barbara, and the Westwood area of LA,” said \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1227\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 1227\u003c/a>’s author, state Sen.

The debt would be forgiven if students successfully complete the academic semester in which they receive the loan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state-funded program would expire in 2022, and campuses would have to report on whether students who get the loans end up graduating. It’s based on a ‘rapid rehousing’ model—the idea that getting students like Chavez into permanent digs as quickly as possible can stave off the ripple effects on their academic and personal lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such interventions often draw criticism from those who say college students have always struggled, or that they just need to manage their money responsibly. To respond to that line of thinking, researchers like Goldrick-Rab have begun studying how helping students with food and housing costs impacts their academic performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every college wants to know, if I invest, will students graduate?” Goldrick-Rab said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Chavez is settling into a new temporary home in one of Sacramento State’s dormitories. With his grades plummeting, one of his professors had pulled him aside. “She said, ‘You obviously understand all the concepts; why are you failing my class?’\" Chavez says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez broke down and told her about his stresses.

Yet they likely will prove insufficient to solve what experts say is the extreme end of \u003ca href=\"http://wihopelab.com/publications/Wisconsin-HOPE-Lab-Still-Hungry-and-Homeless.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a nationwide student housing crisis\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we ask people why they became homeless, no one ever says, ‘because of decades of federal disinvestment in affordable housing,’” says Shahera Hyatt, who was homeless herself before becoming director of the \u003ca href=\"http://cahomelessyouth.library.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Homeless Youth Project\u003c/a>, a state-funded research group. “But it’s a systemic problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez had wanted to live in one of Sacramento State’s dormitories, but that would have brought his costs for the year to about $5,000 more than his financial aid package, he says.
