As announced by San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) and San Diego Youth Services, students experiencing homelessness and their families are eligible to request a hotel stay for up to five nights at no cost through Project Rest.

To qualify for this service, students must be registered in school and qualify under McKinney Vento. Such students are individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and are eligible for additional educational services through Title I, Part A, and/or the federal McKinney-Vento Assistance Act. Resources also include support for finding housing, emergency shelter, access to food pantries, transportation to school, and more. Please contact Victor Carcamo, Coordinator of Student Services, at [email protected] or (714) 244-0240 to see if you qualify for these additional supports.
