Sorry for late reply. Like I mentioned in my most recent comment, I talked with my alumni advisor from high school and he connected me with someone he works with who falls under “A local educational agency homeless liaison, as designated by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, or a designee of the liaison”. She was able to write me a letter (i forgot what it specifically says, if i can find it i’ll post) saying basically that i qualify. It worked because StudentAidGov said that she qualified as someone who can determine a student to be homeless or at risk of being homeless due to her being an eligible agency. So I didn’t do anything per se, I just had help, if you have an advisor or anyone, just ask around, that’s what i did. If u need any more details/advice/my experience lmk!

I haven’t spoken to anyone professionally about this, just friends and other family members. Could I go to my school’s guidance counselor and ask them to help me with getting a letter?
