As authorized under Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act, the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE) Office of Next Generation Schools & Districts is issuing a Request for Application (RFA) from local educational agencies to develop and implement programs that facilitate the enrollment, attendance, and success in school of homeless children and youth. The KDE anticipates funding 8-16 programs. Funding amounts will vary dependent upon availability of funds and the following needs (list is not all inclusive): homeless population, strength of academic services proposed, allowable expenditures and potential start-up programs. Districts should design a Homeless Education Program that addresses needs identified through a comprehensive needs assessment and is education focused. Budgets should be developed based on the program design and should accurately reflect amounts needed to effectively implement it. The average award for this grant is approximately $65,000. Start-up grants can average $10,000. Districts may not receive the total amount requested. Districts will be eligible for two additional years of funding contingent on the availability of funds and successful operation of the program.
