A student who lives in any of the following situations is considered in temporary housing under the McKinney-Vento Act:

• Doubled up (with friends or relatives because they cannot find or afford housing)
• A shelter or transitional shelter,
• A hotel/motel,
• A car, bus or train,
• A park or public place, or
• An abandoned building

This includes unaccompanied youth who do not have a fixed, adequate, and regular nighttime residence. Unaccompanied youth are students not in the physical custody of their parent or legal guardian; this includes young people who

• have run away from home,
• have been kicked out of their homes, or
• have been abandoned by parents.
