The New Jersey Department of Education received a $2.25 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196). The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The Education for Homeless Children and Youth program aims to ensure all homeless children and youth have equal access to free, appropriate public education. Funding will support the New Jersey Department of Education in establishing policies and programs to identify and support homeless students, and remove barriers to their enrollment, attendance, and success in school. Key services provided through this award will likely include identification of homeless children and youth, assessment of their needs, and coordination of services to help ensure they have the opportunity to meet state academic achievement standards.
