Grantees
Grant funding is available to local education agencies (LEAs), which include school districts, charter schools, and BOCES, through a competitive application process administered by the New York State Education Department (NYSED). Applications for the McKinney-Vento Competitive Grant are available every 3 years. LEA's who successfully secure a 3-year grant may use funds to provide programs and activities that support the school success of students experiencing homelessness.
