The purpose of the Education for Homeless Children and Youths (EHCY) program is to improve the educational outcomes for children and youths in homeless situations. The statute for this program is designed to ensure all homeless children and youths have equal access to public school education. It requires State Educational Agencies (SEAs) and Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to review and revise policies and regulations to remove barriers to school enrollment, attendance, and academic achievement for homeless children and youths. In order to meet the goals of the EHCY program, LEAs demonstrating the highest need and quality of programming receive subgrants which are used to carry out activities authorized by the McKinney-Vento Act. The U.S. Department of Education's (ED) Office of Elementary and Secondary Education requires SEAs to submit performance information on an annual basis. The information allows ED to determine the extent to which States ensure homeless children and youths have access to a free, appropriate, public education. The online portal for the Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR) opened for manual entry and certification of data on November 5, 2012 and closed on December 20, 2012. The portal reopened for corrections and recertification on February 25, 2013 and closed on March 8, 2013. All States submitted school year (SY) 2011-12 data. This report is a summary of that data, including comparisons with data submitted for SY 2009-10 and SY 2010-11. This report provides a description of current trends including important indicators such as the number of children and youths identified as homeless, basic demographics, and a snapshot of their academic progress.
