Homeless Education Program Printing materials

The District of Columbia’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education is preparing to produce educational materials aimed at supporting students experiencing homelessness by raising awareness of their rights and improving access to critical information. These materials are designed as a best-practice intervention to help schools, staff, and community allies properly identify and serve homeless students, ensuring they receive the support mandated by federal and local laws. The initiative focuses on clear, practical resources that simplify navigation of educational protections and promote equitable access to services. The project involves the printing and distribution of Ally and rights-based materials to be used across educational and community settings within the District. While the solicitation is currently listed as a forecast with no formal solicitation number or set-aside details, the effort underscores a commitment to compliance with the McKinney-Vento Act and the broader goal of educational equity. The materials will empower educators and partners with the tools needed to advocate for homeless students, reduce barriers to enrollment and retention, and foster a more responsive and informed school environment. The contract is anticipated to be issued under the oversight of the OSSE and will serve the entire District of Columbia.
