Unaccompanied Homeless Youth
and Unusual Circumstance Verification
Either through personal conversation with a Financial Aid staff member, or through the FAFSA, you have indicated that you received a
determination on or after July 1, 2019, that you were either an unaccompanied youth who was homeless, at risk of being homeless, or
have an unusual circumstance due to abuse or neglect, parental abandonment, or other situations where contact between you and your
parent(s) is non-existent.You may be eligible for additional educational services through Title X, Part C, Federal McKinney-Vento
Assistance Act. Additional information and resources are included on this form.
Beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year, the definition of an “independent student” was expanded to include any applicant
who had been verified during the school year in which the application is submitted as either:
• An unaccompanied youth who is a homeless child or youth, as such terms are defined in
section 725 of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act; or
• An unaccompanied youth who is at risk of homelessness and is also self-supporting.
Critical Definitions
• McKinney-Vento and CCRAA Definition of Homelessness:
Children who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence which includes
Living in shelters, motels, cars, OR
Temporarily living with other people because the applicant had nowhere else to go.
The education subtitle of the McKinney-Vento Act is overseen by the U.S. Department of Education.
For more information, see: https://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/leg/esea02/pg116.html
• Unaccompanied Youth: Unaccompanied homeless youth are young people who lack safe, stable housing and who are not in
the care of a parent or guardian. They may have run away from home or been forced to leave by their parents. Unaccompanied
youth live in a variety of temporary situations, including shelters, the homes of friends or relatives, cars, campgrounds, public
parks, abandoned buildings, motels, and bus or train stations. Also, if you are living in any of these situations and fleeing an
abusive parent, you may be considered homeless even if your parent would otherwise provide a place to live.
• McKinney-Vento School District Liaisons: Under subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, every
school district is required to designate a liaison for students experiencing homelessness. Homeless liaisons have a number of
legal responsibilities under the Act, including identifying youth who meet the definition of homeless and are unaccompanied.
A local educational agency (LEA) homeless liaison, designated pursuant to 722(g)(1)(J)(ii) of the McKinney-Vento
Homeless Assistance Act; To find local liaisons: contact the Office State Coordinator for the Education of Homeless Children
and Youth. See: https://nche.ed.gov/data/
• HUD-funded Shelters: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administers funding for homeless
shelters and services under Title IV of the McKinney-Vento Act. These funds are distributed to communities through a
competitive grant process. For more information, see: https://www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/
• RHYA-funded Shelters: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services administers the Runaway and Homeless Youth
Act programs. These programs provide funding for Basic Centers, Transitional Living Programs, and Street Outreach
Programs that serve runaway and other unaccompanied homeless youth.
o For more information, see: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/fysb/programs/runaway-homeless-youth
o The director or a designee of the director of a program funded by the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act. To find
Runaway and Homeless Youth Act service providers go to: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/fysb/grants/fysb-grantees
• Unusual Family Circumstance: Young people who are not residing with a parent due to family circumstances such as abuse
or neglect, parental abandonment, or other situations where contact between the student and parent(s) is non-existent. This
student may meet the living circumstances described in the unaccompanied youth definition, or may be in a more stable living
situation such as living with a friend or relative on a more permanent basis. Students in this situation may need to complete
our Request for Independent Status Form.
Please review the above definitions as well as the information provided on Page 3 of this form. If a McKinney-Vento, HUD, or
RHYA designated official can confirm your status, you ONLY need to submit a Liaison Letter OR page 2 of this form. You do
NOT need to complete or submit page 3 or page 4. If a designated official cannot confirm your status, you must complete page 3
and page 4 (do not complete page 2) of this form and submit to the EWC Financial Aid Office.
