Can Title I funds be used to pay for transportation while a student is homeless?
Generally no. Title I funds cannot be used for transportation costs while a student is homeless. However, Title I funds can be used for non-mandated transportation services for students who are homeless, including transportation to and from after- and before-school activities, transportation to the school of origin after the student has moved into permanent housing, transportation for parents to attend school events, and transportation to medical appointments that relate in some way to the student’s education.
