Are you between homes?
If your family lives in any of the following situations:

- In a motel or hotel

Then your children have rights under the McKinneyVento Homeless Education Assistance Act:
- Free breakfasts and lunch
- Go to school, no matter where you live or how long you have lived there
- Continue in the school they attended before you became homeless, if you choose
- Receive transportation to and from school
