Housing and School Partnership on the Point-in-Time Count

cover page of the USICH brief entitled Homelessness in America: Focus on Youth

Dear colleagues:

As the date for local Point-in-Time (PIT) counts nears, NCHE wants to remind its listserv members about its updated Housing and School Partnership on the Point-in-Time Count tip sheet, available at http://nche.ed.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/PIT-Count-Fact-Sheet-FINAL.docx. This tip sheet

outlines key provisions under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) that set the guidelines for school and district involvement in HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Point-in-Time (PIT) counts and
includes planning and awareness-building steps that schools and districts can take when working with their local Continuum of Care (CoC) to help plan and implement the local PIT count.

When working together, NCHE encourages CoCs and schools/districts to support each other's system goals in a way that benefits both partner agencies and the young people and families they serve. We hope you find this 2-page quick reference guide to be useful to you in your work.

Best regards,

Christina Dukes, Federal Liaison
