Families Experiencing Homelessness

Official source

CCR&R's must provide prioritized services to children and families experiencing homelessness allowing you to quickly access services and giving you extra time to submit required documents to establish eligibility. If you lack a fixed and adequate nighttime residence, you would meet the definition of homeless. Specifically that means living in:

Shared housing due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason;

Motels, hotels, or campgrounds because you don’t have alternative accommodations;

Emergency or transitional shelters;

Locations not designed or intended for human sleeping, such as park benches; or

Cars, parks, public spaces, bus or train stations, or abandoned buildings.

Migratory children (as such term is defined in section 1309 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965) also qualify as homeless for the purposes of this subtitle because the children are living in circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii) therein. If you are experiencing homelessness you will be given a grace period of up to six (6) months to submit documentation establishing eligibility for the Child Care Assistance Program while your child(ren) receive child care services. You also will be allowed to substitute housing search or jobs search hours to satisfy the work/school/job training hours requirement.
