About this program
The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education funded assistance to local educational agencies whose enrollment of homeless students increased as a result of a natural disaster occurring in calendar year 2008, under CFDA 84.383, with the most recent grant awards dated January 1, 2008.
This program is inactive. No grant awards have been disbursed since 2008. The program issued 49 Formula Grants totaling $14.2 million in federal dollars in 2008 to address temporary spikes in homeless student enrollment tied to that year's natural disasters. All awards carried project completion dates of September 30, 2010. No grant opportunities are currently posted, and no solicitations have been issued in the eighteen years since the initial funding cycle.
The program funded direct assistance to LEAs managing increased homeless student populations. Award sizes varied substantially, ranging from approximately $31 thousand to $4.49 million, with notable larger awards including $4.49 million (Formula Grant S383A090049), $1.49 million (S383A090006), and $1.16 million (S383A090028). The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education was the sole funding agency, providing all 49 awards and 100 percent of obligated federal dollars.
The program was structured exclusively as Formula Grants distributed to qualifying LEAs. The triggering event—a natural disaster in 2008—was time-specific and non-recurring, and the program appears to have been designed as a temporary response to that single-year event rather than a standing annual solicitation. Given the eighteen-year gap since final awards and the absence of any recent opportunities or funding signals, organizations should treat this program as effectively closed and not pursue funding under it.
