CARE Services
In partnership with IMESD and Union County, we have a district
representative that can meet with students and families to help them
navigate various systems to receive services that can provide housing,
food, health care, clothing, and the other necessities of life. This advocate
can help families complete paperwork, provide transportation, and be
with them as they go with them to secure services. We recognize that each

meet their individual needs.
Youth In Transition Services
La Grande School District provides Youth In Transition (YIT) services
to students that qualify as homeless within our district. Like our CARE
Coordinator, our YIT Liaison helps students remove barriers to attendance,

at school and meet basic needs. YIT services may include transportation
to school, clothing, food, school supplies, etc. Additionally, the YIT Liaison
