Homeless Support Program

The Homeless Support Program serves homeless students enrolled in the Bellingham School District.  Services are provided through existing programs and mechanisms that integrate homeless individuals with non-homeless individuals.  This program is designed to reduce isolation, maximize stability and maintain consistency for this population of children and youth.  The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is a federal law that guarantees all children and youth the right to an equal education regardless of their living situation.  Protection under the McKinney-Vento Act extends to those who lack a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence.
