For example, Education can verify the information by requesting supporting documentation for a sample of LEAs that have reported zero or few youth experiencing homelessness and have indicated in CARS that their local liaisons have received training.

Description of Legislative Action

AB 400 (Chapter 400, Statutes of 2021) requires Education to develop and implement procedures for verifying that key information submitted by LEAs complies with the McKinney-Vento Act.
