The Education for Homeless Children and Youth program, administered by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (CFDA 84.196), awarded a $560,783 formula grant to the Utah State Board of Education to provide services that ensure equal educational access for homeless students. Key services include transportation assistance, academic support, professional development for educators, and coordination with local education agencies to remove barriers to school participation. The grant aims to minimize educational disruption for students experiencing homelessness and provide comprehensive support to help them succeed academically. Sub-awardees such as local school districts, community organizations, and educational service centers will implement direct services including identifying homeless students, providing academic instruction, offering counseling, facilitating transportation, and making referrals for health and housing services.
