Title I Part A Homeless Set-Aside

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires local educational agencies (LEA) to reserve sufficient Title I, Part A funds to provide educationally related support services to children and youth experiencing homelessness. These set aside funds are intended to ensure students experiencing homelessness receive services comparable to those provided to children attending schools served with Title IA funds (ESEA §1113(c)(3)(A)(i)). In addition, these funds may be used to provide children and youth experiencing homelessness with services not ordinarily provided to other students (ESEA §1113(c)(3)(C)(ii)).
