Based on the experiences of veteran State Coordinators and others with information to share about the monitoring process, this handbook discusses challenges and strategies related to monitoring LEAs for compliance with the legislative requirements of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. State Coordinators will also find sample tools for use in developing, adapting, and customizing their own monitoring process.
