The McKinney-Vento Act defines homelessness broadly, including situations such as living in shelters, motels, cars, or doubled-up with other families due to loss of housing or economic hardship. 

Recognizing the signs of homelessness and understanding the specific challenges these students face is essential. Educators can identify students who qualify under the McKinney-Vento Act by recognizing specific factors. Establishing trust and open communication with these students is essential for identifying their housing instability and providing the required assistance and resources.
