Abstract: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) included an
unprecedented $800 million to support the specific needs of homeless
children and youth via the American Rescue Plan Elementary and
Secondary School Emergency Relief--Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-
HCY) Fund. State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational
agencies (LEAs) must use ARP-HCY funds to identify homeless children
and youth, to provide homeless children and youth with wrap-around
services to address the challenges of COVID-19, and to enable homeless
children and youth to attend school and fully participate in school
activities. This is a one-time grant program administered as part of
the American Rescue Plan. The U.S. Department of Education (the
Department) is seeking to understand how funds under this one-time
grant program are being used.
Specifically, the Department is seeking to learn about the
distribution of ARP-HCY funds by SEAs, the characteristics of LEAs
receiving funds, and the characteristics of LEAs who chose not to
participate in the distribution of funds in each state. Additionally,
the Department would like to gather information on how SEAs are using
the funds that were set aside at the State level under this program.
Information obtained in this survey will be used to inform technical
assistance and support provided by the Department and the National
Center for Homeless Education (NCHE), resources developed by NCHE, and
further studies.
