Housing Questionnaire

New York State Education Department

The Housing Questionnaire should be used by all school districts as the first page of the enrollment packet for all newly enrolling students. It should also be given to all students/families any time they report a change of address. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) requires all LEAs that receive Title I funds (including school districts, charter schools, and BOCES) to use the Housing Questionnaire. NYSED also encourages all other LEAs to use the Housing Questionnaire because it asks about students’ living arrangements in order to identify students experiencing homelessness in the school district.
