Child in Transition/Homeless (CIT/H) Project
Who qualifies for services?
Many families experience unemployment, job changes, health crisis, or other circumstances that can cause the loss of a permanent home. Students in homeless situations lack fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. Examples of homeless living situations include:
-
Living in an emergency shelter, transitional residence or a domestic violence shelter
-
Staying in a motel or hotel for economic reasons
-
Living with a friend, relative or someone else because they lost their home or can't afford a home
-
Emergency foster care or awaiting foster care placement
-
Living in cars, at campgrounds, or other public places
-
Staying in substandard housing
- Living in a runaway or homeless youth shelter
Referral process
Eligibility is determined from July 1st of each year. Children and youth remain eligible for services during that entire year even after they find permanent housing. |
