Students in Transition Empowerment Program

STEP is a free program offered by Traverse City Area Public Schools that provides supportive education-related services to all students, Pre-K through Grade 12, who do not have permanent housing. The program is funded by a grant through the Michigan Department of Education under the Stewart B. McKinney Act. This federal law requires that school districts remove barriers to the enrollment, attendance, and success of children and youth in school.
 
Any student who lacks fixed, regular, and adequate overnight residence due to eviction, economic hardship, or other similar reason is eligible for STEP services. In addition to those living in a shelter, campground, vehicle, or on the street, this may also include those who temporarily live with family or friends, or in a motel.
