The NEISD McKinney-Vento Project is committed to ensuring that all NEISD children and youth in homeless situations have the opportunity to attend, enroll in, and succeed in school. During the 2019-20 school year, the NEISD McKinney-Vento Project identified and provided services for 973 students. San Antonio is the ninth largest city in the country with a poverty level that has nearly doubled that of families across the country at 18.7%. Six shelters provide emergency and transitional housing for homeless families. Only one of those transitional shelters resides in the North East ISD attendance area. The average homeless family in San Antonio is made up of 3.29 people, and estimated 249 families are homeless every day in the city, including 520 children.
