National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, observed every November, is a critical opportunity to address the alarming issue of children and youth homelessness in the United States. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by homeless youth, children and their families and to promote actions that can make a difference in
their lives.

In schools, the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act ensures educational rights and protections for children and youth experiencing homelessness. To learn more, call our district school social worker, Mrs. Jessica McCoy, at 601-656-2182.
