Beginning Monday, the U.S. Department of Education will grant funding to each state, totaling $800 million, to help students experiencing homelessness.
Under the American Rescue Plan, an initial installment of $200 million will go out on Monday. The amount given varies across states according to need.
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin joined Secretary Cardona in a roundtable discussion with students who spoke about their personal homelessness experiences to better understand how the American Rescue Plan funds can best support students.
