The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $1,978,769 Formula Grant under the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196) to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education (DESE). This grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, aims to ensure that homeless children and youth have equal access to free, appropriate public education. Through this award, DESE will establish or designate an office to coordinate education of homeless children and youth, develop and carry out a state plan for their education, and make sub-grants to local educational agencies (LEAs) to support the education of these children. DESE has sub-awarded funds to municipal governments, school districts, and non-profit organizations across Massachusetts to provide transportation assistance, academic support, professional development for educators, and coordination with LEAs to remove barriers to school participation for homeless students.
