The U.S. Department of Education's Education of Homeless Children and Youths (EHCY) Program allocates funds to each state on an annual basis. Each state (SEA) then holds a competitive grant process to determine which school districts (LEA) will receive a McKinney-Vento subgrant with which to enhance the support provided to children and youth experiencing homelessness in their district. Following are sample subgrant applications that may be used as a model for developing a subgrant application in your state.
