Homeless Student Referral Form
McKinney-Vento (MV) is the homeless education act. For a student to be considered homeless, they must LACK a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This can mean a student and/or their family who is living in a shelter, in foster care, "couch surfing", living with a family member or friend due to financial issues, etc.
Please fill out the Homeless Student Referral form if you believe you may qualify for McKinney-Vento Services. Feel free to contact HPS' McKinney-Vento Coordinator, Corlis Brown-Lloyd, at cbrown-Lloyd@hamtramckschools.com or 313-858-1710.
