This NCHE brief explores living situations where children and youth are staying with caregivers or on their own; discusses access to education and other services for students living with caregivers or on their own, and offers strategies that local homeless education liaisons (hereafter referred to as local liaisons) and school staff can implement to ensure these students and caregiver families receive appropriate services.

This NCHE flowchart provides a simple process of determining the McKinney-Vento eligibility of students living apart from parents and guardians. Using common living arrangements, it guides users to make accurate determinations of a student’s eligibility as an unaccompanied homeless youth.

The Youth Outcomes Project (YOP)—a collaboration between Chapin Hall, Youth Collaboratory, six federal agencies, and a number of leading researchers, practitioners, philanthropists, and youth with lived experience—provides guidance and promotes consensus on what and how to measure within the four broad core outcome areas identified in the USICH Framework to End Youth Homelessness. The project involved a background review of outcomes and measures used by evaluations and programs addressing youth homelessness, consultations with a range of youth and adult stakeholders across the country, and consolidation of inputs and appraisal of measures. For each core outcome area, the report provides a brief context on the importance of each core outcome area and recommendations of top core outcomes that the authors suggest be tracked commonly across communities in system-level efforts to end youth homelessness, along with corresponding best-available measures. It also presents suggested options and resources for communities and programs that want to “go further” in youth outcomes measurement for each domain.
