The Department of Education of Puerto Rico, doing business as Departamento De Instruccion Publica, has been awarded a $2,997,464 Formula Grant from the U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide services under the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196). This grant, effective July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, will enable the Department to ensure all homeless children and youth in Puerto Rico have equal access to free, appropriate public education. The Department, as the State Education Agency (SEA) and Local Education Agency (LEA), will utilize the funds to develop policies, provide oversight, deliver direct educational and supplemental services, and carry out other activities to support homeless students across the island's elementary and secondary schools. The Department has previously received prime federal grant awards from the Department of Education for initiatives such as the Special Education Grants to States, Title I Grants, and COVID-19 relief efforts.
