School social workers help students and their families who are experiencing homelessness through our Families in Transition program, also known as "FIT". The FIT program was born from the McKinney Vento Act, which serves to provide youth experiencing homelessness with the necessary support and resources to ensure their access to a stable and quality education, regardless of their housing situation, by addressing barriers such as enrollment, transportation, and school stability.
