- a high school or school district homeless liaison,
- the director of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program, or

“Homeless youth” means at any time during the 24 months immediately preceding the application for admission. “Former homeless youth鈥 means a student under 25 years of age, who has been verified.
Priority Registration will be assigned for 6 years or until the age of 25, whichever comes first, upon verification of homeless status.
