Abstract: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) included an unprecedented $800 million to support the specific needs of homeless children and youth via the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief—Homeless Children and Youth (ARP–HCY) Fund. State educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) must use ARP–HCY funds to identify homeless children and youth, to provide homeless children and youth with wrap-around services to address the challenges of COVID–19, and to enable homeless children and youth to attend school and fully participate in school activities. This is a one-time grant program administered as part of the American Rescue Plan. The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) is seeking to understand how funds under this onetime grant program are being used. Specifically, the Department is seeking to learn about the distribution of ARP–HCY funds by SEAs, the characteristics of LEAs receiving funds, and the characteristics of LEAs who chose not to participate in the distribution of funds in each state. Additionally, the Department would like to gather information on how SEAs are using the funds that were set aside at the State level under this program. Information obtained in this survey will be used to inform technical assistance and support provided by the Department and the National Center for Homeless Education (NCHE), resources developed by NCHE, and further studies.
