The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded a $3,650,749 Formula Grant titled "Education for Homeless Children and Youth" to the Michigan Department of Education. This grant, authorized under CFDA 84.196, aims to ensure all homeless children and youth have equal access to a free, appropriate public education.
Through this funding, the Michigan Department of Education is providing sub-awards to various intermediate school districts, county education service agencies, and other local education entities across the state. These sub-recipients are using the funds to deliver a range of services supporting homeless students, such as ensuring their enrollment and participation in school, providing them with educational and related support services, and assisting in their transition to permanent housing. Key services include identifying and removing barriers to education, providing tutoring and mentoring, offering referrals for healthcare and other community resources, and coordinating transportation to maintain school stability.
