Families In Transition (F.I.T.)
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Program / Families in Transition (F.I.T.) Program helps students in transitional living situations have equal access to a free public education. A child is considered in transitional living if they lack a “fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence”. This means any students living in shelters, in substandard housing, doubled up with friends or relatives because they have no other place to go and cannot afford a home. The other living arrangements included are single room hotels, cars, parks, public places, transitional affidavit. If a child qualifies under the McKinney-Vento homeless program, they need to contact Christine Spratling at 916-407-9633 to set-up an appointment for immediate help.
Children in the F.I.T. Program are guaranteed enrollment in school by The Federal McKinney-Vento Act and California State law if you live:
- In a shelter (family, domestic violence, or youth shelter or transitional living program)

- In temporary foster care or with an adult who is not your parent or guardian
- In substandard housing (without electricity, water, or heat)
- With friends or family because you are a runaway or an unaccompanied youth
