Through this grant, the Ohio Department of Education is delivering a range of support services to homeless students across the state. The department is partnering with sub-grantees like local school districts, educational service centers, and other local agencies to provide instructional programs, student services, literacy initiatives, and professional development focused on the needs of homeless students. Key sub-grantees receiving funding include school districts in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, and other Ohio cities, as well as several regional educational service centers. These sub-award recipients are using the funds to enhance academic support, enrichment activities, transportation, early intervention, and other comprehensive services for homeless students in their local communities.
