The McKinney-Vento Act is a federal law that gives children and youth experiencing homelessness the right to enroll in school immediately, even without documents normally required for enrollment, and to stay in one school even if they are changing residences.

Every school district has a local homeless education liaison, who must identify and serve children and youth experiencing homelessness. Michigan Department of Education homelessness webpage has information items, as well as local contacts.
