Education for homeless children and youth

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Bureau of Indian Education $1,290,000 under the Education for Homeless Children and Youth program (CFDA 84.196) on July 1, 2026. This formula grant supports the provision of equal access to free, appropriate public education for homeless children and youth served by BIE's network of elementary and secondary schools. The award obligates $1,290,000 with a period of performance from July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, and administrative oversight at Washington, DC 20240. The Education for Homeless Children and Youth program awards grants to States by formula; States then competitively award subgrants to local educational agencies based on need and application quality. Under the program's structure, funds reserved for the Department of Interior/Bureau of Indian Education flow directly to BIE as a formula recipient. Homeless children and youth in elementary and secondary schools, along with homeless preschool children and their parents, are the ultimate beneficiaries. Recipients expending $750,000 or more in Federal awards annually are subject to single or program-specific audit requirements under 2 CFR 200, Subpart F; grantees must maintain records for three years in accordance with the General Education Provisions Act Section 443.
