There is a line item in your district’s federal funding designed to support your most vulnerable students. Most districts are not using it for this.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act currently serves over 1.5 million children and youth experiencing homelessness in America. But when a student experiencing homelessness is also autistic or neurodivergent, the systems that are supposed to catch them simply do not connect.
This is not a resources problem. It is a systems problem.
SAFE HUB was built to close that gap. It is a crisis navigation platform designed specifically for school districts, emergency shelters, and government agencies serving autistic and neurodivergent students and families. It is fundable through IDEA Part B, McKinney-Vento, and Title I, which means most districts can deploy it at zero net cost to their general fund.
Real-time crisis response protocols. IEP integration. De-escalation scripts built for neurodivergent behavior. Compliance documentation. Staff training. Parent communication. Multi-agency coordination.
Everything your team needs to respond with confidence when the situation is anything but confident.
If you are a Special Education Director, McKinney-Vento Coordinator, or Superintendent ready to build something that actually protects these children, we want to hear from you.
