House Fire
I am relatively new as a McKinney-Vento Liaison and have a question about eligibility. A family had a recent house fire that was not a total loss (still sleeping there at night). As a result of the fire, they are going to be without power and water for a few days. Does that make them eligible for MV services due to inadequate housing even though it will only be temporary?

Great question, I would look at the impact of not having power and water. Will this have an effect on their ability to fully participate in school and their success? If so I would consider qualifying them since the loss is due to a crisis. If not, I would check in with them to make sure the power and water have been restored as the longer it lasts the more likely it will have an impact.
