Purpose of Program: The ARP-HCY program provides funds for the purposes of identifying homeless children and youth and providing homeless children and youth with wrap-around services in light of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and assistance needed to enable homeless children and youth to attend school and participate fully in school activities.
Use of Funds: These funds may be used to address urgent needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness—including academic, social, emotional, and mental health needs. The funds will also be used to increase capacity by hiring staff, dedicating resources, and planning partnerships with community-based organizations, among other strategies.
Notice of Intent: USBE is seeking a notice of intent from all LEAs on their interest in applying for this funding. The information will be used to inform the creation of a base-plus distribution award. This does not commit you to the funds, but allows USBE to create a distribution based on those who are potentially interested.
