<p>Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Act, recently reauthorized as part of the No Child Left Behind Act, was designed to limit the negative effects of school mobility on students experiencing homelessness. Students may change schools as they move among temporary housing options, leading to lower academic achievement, and emotional and social distress. The Act gives students experiencing homelessness the right to remain in one school. While the Act plays a critical role in preventing homelessness and increasing educational achievement, programs to provide affordable housing and support to struggling families are essential to improving the educational achievement of children and youth experiencing homelessness.</p>
