The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) are an education data management initiative whose purpose is to streamline the understanding of data within and across P-20W institutions and sectors. CEDS includes a common vocabulary complete with standard elements names, definitions, and option sets. This repository contains all the CEDS elements, definitions, option sets and their definitions, and entities and definitions. Its purpose is to expand that vocabulary to meet the needs of every education stakeholder. The expanded vocabulary is then added to the CEDS Integration Data Store and CEDS Data Warehouse – the other two repositories located here.
This is for capturing needs not currently supported by the CEDS model. Please do not send or share actual data as examples in this issue or in attachments.

Add Existing CEDS Element “Homelessness Status” to Workforce
Use Case Description
List the proposed element name(s), definition(s), and/or option set(s).
Homelessness Status – 000149 - https://ceds.ed.gov/element/000149
Individual who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. Individuals include: 1) individual who is sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement; 2) individual who has a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or originally used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings; or 3) individual who is living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings. 4) migratory children who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described in the above. (See Section 103 of the McKinney Act for a more detailed description of this data element).

Use Case Background
Provide information related to why these changes/additions are needed.
The Workforce Workgroup proposes the addition of the “Homelessness Status” data element to the Workforce domain. In addition, the workgroup proposes a change in the definition to remove references to “student”. This change allows Homeless Status to apply to all domains outside of a school setting.
We need to know this information because many Workforce Programs have enrollment requirements, of which this may be one. Additionally, individuals who are homeless may have additional challenges meeting program requirements or attaining family sustaining employment, may require additional case management services or accommodations, may be more transitory, and may have different program outcomes.
