2018 Temporary Emergency Impact Aid
On Friday, April 27, 2018, the U.S. Department of Education notified states of the Temporary Emergency Impact Aid, as appropriated by Congress in February 2018. Applications are available for two of the hurricane and disaster relief programs authorized by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018: the Temporary Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced Students (Emergency Impact Aid) program and the Assistance for Homeless Children and Youth program. The Emergency Impact Aid program will provide assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and non-public schools that have enrolled students displaced during the 2017-18 school year by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma or Maria or the 2017 California wildfires (“a covered disaster or emergency”). The Assistance for Homeless Children and Youth program will provide assistance to LEAs to support the needs of homeless students displaced by a covered disaster or emergency. This letter and the enclosed materials provide the information necessary for State educational agencies (SEAs) to apply for funding under these programs, and SEAs will make awards to LEAs under both programs.
