In early August 2020, as educators prepared for an uncertain school year, there was a worrying theme from school district homeless liaisons: numbers of identified homeless students were down--in some cases, significantly down--despite evidence of increased need. In September and October of 2020, a survey was conducted of local educational agency homeless liaisons who are designated under federal law (the McKinney-Vento Act) to carry out specific responsibilities to ensure the identification, enrollment, and support of children and youth experiencing homelessness. The liaisons were asked whether their numbers of identified homeless students were higher or lower than at the same time in the previous school year and by how much, and their perception of the reasons for these trends. They were also asked to describe the greatest unmet needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness in their communities; whether their school districts were directing the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act education dollars to homeless students, and if so, how those funds were being used. This report examines the findings of the survey that show a drop in the number of children and youth experiencing homelessness who have been identified and supported by public schools in the fall of 2020, despite evidence of increased need during the pandemic. Liaisons also described significant unmet needs beyond access to education, and the failure of federal CARES Act dollars to reach some of the most vulnerable students--children and youth whose invisibility prevents them from being prioritized in policy and funding decisions. It concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educational and relief agencies, and philanthropic organizations. [This report was prepared with the SchoolHouse Connection.]
