每学年最高5万美元、为期三年：爱荷华州开放无家可归学生学区补助申请，12月31日截止
美国爱荷华州教育部宣布，最新一轮「爱荷华无家可归儿童与青少年教育」竞争性补助（Iowa Education of Homeless Children and Youth subgrant）已经开放申请，面向该州在 2025-26 学年报告有 10 名或以上无家可归学生的公立学区，申请截止日期为 12 月 31 日。
这项补助依据 2001 年《McKinney-Vento 无家可归教育改进法》设立，资金 100% 来自联邦经费。入选学区可获得为期三年的资助，周期为 2027 年 7 月 1 日至 2030 年 6 月 30 日，具体取决于联邦经费到位情况。由于联邦资金有限，补助按学区无家可归学生人数分两档：报告 10 至 50 名学生的学区，每学年最高可获 25,000 美元；报告 51 名或以上学生的学区，每学年最高可获 50,000 美元。
补助资金可用于辅导、补充教学与丰富型教育服务，学生能力与需求评估，教职工专业发展，转介服务与交通协助等活动与服务。教育部表示，这项补助旨在帮助学区扩大或增加面向有需要的儿童与青少年的服务，提高教职工识别无家可归学生的意识与敏感度，并增加这些学生学业成功的机会，使他们能够入学、出勤并在学校取得成功。
爱荷华州教育部无家可归教育项目顾问 Tyler Navin 表示，爱荷华的学区是面临无家可归处境的儿童与青少年获取资源、支持与理解的重要枢纽；通过这项补助，州政府可以协助学区建立项目与服务，帮助学生在困难时期得到支持，并确保他们拥有学习与成功的机会。
符合条件的公立学区可通过「综合问责与支持申请」（Consolidated Accountability and Support Application，CASA）系统提交申请，申请说明与更多细节可查阅教育部 McKinney-Vento 无家可归教育资源网页。
Up to $50,000 a Year for Three Years: Iowa Opens Homeless Student District Subgrant Applications, Deadline December 31
The Iowa Department of Education announced that the latest round of the Iowa Education of Homeless Children and Youth competitive subgrant is now open, offering support to Iowa public school districts with 10 or more students experiencing homelessness. The deadline to apply is December 31.
The subgrant is authorized under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Improvements Act of 2001 and is 100 percent federally funded. It offers funding for a three-year period starting July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2030, depending on the availability of funding. Because federal funding is limited, awards are divided into two tiers: districts reporting 10 to 50 students experiencing homelessness may receive up to $25,000 for each subgrant year, while districts reporting 51 or more students may receive up to $50,000 per year.
Approved activities may include tutoring, supplemental instruction and enriched educational services, evaluations of student strengths and needs, professional development for educators and staff, referral services, and transportation assistance. The department said the funding helps districts expand services for children and youth in need, build staff awareness of how to identify students who may be homeless, and increase opportunities for academic success.
Iowa school districts serve as critical hubs for resources, support and understanding for children and youth facing homelessness, said Tyler Navin, homeless education program consultant at the Iowa Department of Education. He said the subgrant can help districts establish programs and services that support students in challenging times and ensure they have opportunities for learning and success.
Eligible districts are those that identified and reported a minimum of 10 students experiencing homelessness on Student Reporting in Iowa during the 2025-26 school year. Applications are submitted through the Consolidated Accountability and Support Application (CASA), and details are available on the department's McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Resources webpage.
