In this powerful episode, we break down what every student and family should know about the McKinney-Vento Act—the federal law that protects the educational rights of unhoused youth. We explore how housing instability impacts a student’s social-emotional wellbeing, behavior, sense of safety, and connection at school, and why consistent support from educators and communities matters. Tune in to learn how schools can remove barriers, provide stability, and ensure every unhoused student has access to the education and dignity they deserve.
