Definition and Law of Title X

McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance Act of 1987 is a United States federal law that provides federal money for homeless shelter programs. Insures homeless children transportation to and from school free and allowing children to attend their school of origin (prior to homeless). Requires schools to register homeless children even if they lack normally required documents, such as immunization records or proof of residence. Each state must designate a statewide homeless coordinator.
