Answer Yes if you received a determination at any time on or after July 1, 2020, that you were an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or at risk of being homeless.

• Homeless means lacking fixed, regular and adequate housing. You may be homeless if you are living in shelters, parks, motels or cars, or are temporarily living with other people because you have nowhere else to go. Also, if you are living in any of these situations and fleeing an abusive parent you may be considered homeless even if your parent would provide support and a place to live.
• Unaccompanied means you are not living in the physical custody of your parent or guardian.
• Youth means you are 21 years of age or younger or you are still enrolled in high school as of the day you sign this application.

Answer No if you are not homeless, at risk of being homeless, or do not have a determination. You should contact your financial aid office for assistance if you do not have a determination but believe you are an unaccompanied youth who is homeless or are an unaccompanied youth providing for your own living expenses who is at risk of being homeless.

The financial aid administrator at your college may require you to provide a copy of the determination if you answered Yes to any of these questions.
