This is a request for approval of a new emergency information collection by the Office of School Support and Accountability (SSA) in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for the American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief - Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) Fund Application authorized under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Public Law 117-2 (ARP). The ARP-HCY (CFDA 84.425W) program is an $800 million formula grant program allocated to State educational agencies (SEA) for use in responding to the needs of students experiencing homelessness in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2021, each SEA was awarded one-fourth of its total ARP-HCY allocations subject to the terms and conditions of the award in the Grant Award Notification (GAN) for those funds. An approved ARP-HCY application will be required before an SEA will receive the remaining three-fourths of its allocation, which will include an assurance to submit a detailed State Plan within 60 days of the release of the application.
The Department is requesting emergency approval for the ARP-HCY application so that SEAs can receive their remaining ARP-HCY funds to address the immediate needs of their students and schools. If this emergency collection is not approved, the Department will not be able to carry out its oversight responsibilities of the $800 million while also ensuring that SEAs receive the resources they need to immediately address COVID-19-related needs, such as identification of students experiencing homelessness and addressing needs related to instructional support, transportation, housing, clothing and school supplies. This emergency collection will enable SEAs the ability to award ARP Homeless II funds by the start of the 2021-2022 school year, which is important as the beginning of the school year is a particularly busy time for identifying and serving students experiencing homelessness.
