Lewisville ISD does not have funding to assist with deposit or rent payment, but we can connect you to resources available in the community. Please refer to the resources section for further information & resources in order to assist with housing hardships and other specific needs.

Contact the registrar where students attend and request to fill out a Student Residency Questionnaire Form. Families and/or students should then be referred to Counseling staff to assist with making requests to the Homeless Education Program for materials and/or transportation needs.

An SRQ or Student Residency Questionnaire is a form that determines homeless status.

The Homeless Education Program can address immediate needs such as requests for transportation, clothing, hygiene items, and emergency food. The Homeless Education Program can also assist with advocacy with the enrollment process following the Mckinney-Vento Act standards.

No, the student does not need the documentation when enrolling. They have a 30-day window to provide required enrollment documents.
