About: The Family Resource Center helps McKinney-Vento and Foster students of the Placerville Union School District

succeed in school by connecting their families to community resources and providing students basic essential items in order to

support their emotional, social and academic needs.

What is McKinney-Vento (MV): The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act states that a child or youth is

considered homeless if he or she “lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.”
