Students and Families Experiencing Homelessness (SAFEH)

According to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Act, a student is homeless if they lack a fixed, regular, and  adequate nighttime residence. This definition includes living:

•  In a house or apartment with more than one family due to loss of housing or economic hardship (aka “doubled-up” or “tripled up”)
• With friends or family because they are a runaway or an unaccompanied youth
• In substandard housing (i.e. without electricity, water, or heat)
• In a shelter (family, domestic violence, youth shelter, or transitional living program)
• In a motel, hotel, SRO, or weekly rate housing
• In an abandoned building, in a car, trailer park, at a campground, or on the streets

There are 3 ways you can share your housing status:

1. Upon enrollment (or re-enrollment) to SFUSD
2. Complete the online Emergency Card available on Parentvue
3. Complete and submit the housing survey to your school's front office (paper copies are also available in schools).
