The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $422,733 Formula Grant to the Nebraska Department of Education on July 1, 2021 through the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196). The grant provides funding through September 30, 2022 to ensure equal access to free, appropriate public education for homeless children and youth in Nebraska.
As part of this award, subgrants were provided to four school districts - Lexington Public Schools #1 ($TBD), Grand Island Public Schools ($TBD), Omaha Public Schools ($TBD), and Lancaster County School District 1 ($TBD) - to deliver services that establish or designate liaisons for homeless children and youth and provide transportation, tutoring, enrollment assistance, and expedited evaluations to homeless students as outlined under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The funding helps remove barriers to education for homeless students in Nebraska.
