The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded a $866,474 Formula Grant to the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) under the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196). This federal grant program aims to ensure equal educational access and support for homeless students. Through this award, KSDE will distribute sub-awards to local school districts, educational service centers, and community organizations across Kansas to provide services such as transportation assistance, academic support, counseling, and coordination to remove barriers to school participation for homeless children and youth. Key sub-awardees include Unified School Districts in Topeka, Olathe, Ottawa, Garden City, Haysville, Kansas City, and Manhattan, which will use the funding to deliver direct educational and support services tailored to the needs of their local homeless student populations.
