McKinney-Vento Program (MVP)

The McKinney-Vento Program (MVP), the District’s Homeless Education Program consists of the Homeless
Liaison, the Academic Support Specialist, and the MVP Case Managers who provide assistance to homeless
children and youth, including unaccompanied homeless youth throughout the District in compliance with
the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The McKinney-Vento Act protects the educational rights of
children and youth experiencing homelessness.
