The purpose of the qualitative descriptive case study was to describe how Virginia local homeless education liaisons use training and resources to support the academic success of homeless students. The following research questions were addressed through semi structured interviews with 15 local homeless education liaisons and the State Coordinator: R1. What training and resources do liaisons in Virginia receive to support the academic success of homeless students? R2. How do local homeless education liaisons perceive and use their training and community networks as well as resources to support the academic success of homeless students? R3. What are challenges liaisons encounter in using their training in dealing with homeless students? How can challenges be overcome? Four themes emerged: Participating liaisons (a) address needs of students experiencing homelessness, using training and community resources, (b) have challenges because of the influence of other roles or a lack of training in specific areas upon their ability to most effectively serve homeless students, (c) seek additional training regarding networking with other liaisons as well as addressing changes to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act based upon the Every Student Succeeds Act, and (d) reflect upon what they wish they had known as new liaisons. Research revealed training in Virginia met liaison needs despite needed adaptations to address legislation changes. Implications for leadership are a need to allot necessary time for liaisons to meet needs of students through understanding liaison function and resources. Recommendations for assisting liaisons in meeting needs of homeless students are made.
