The TEHCY Program leads the way in
ensuring that all students experiencing homelessness in Texas have equal
access to a quality education. Guided by both state and federal laws,
including the
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act,
TEHCY provides critical leadership, resources, and support to help
schools meet the unique needs of McKinney-Vento eligible students.
All Texas public schools, charter schools,
and education service centers—collectively referred to as school
systems—are required to uphold the federal protections and educational
rights guaranteed to homeless students. TEHCY works in partnership with
school systems to ensure these students receive the stability, support,
and opportunities they need to thrive academically and beyond.
