Household Income Form” (HIF) Campaign

The "Household Income Form” (HIF) Campaign is the process through which all schools collect and submit a completed LAUSD form from students for the 2025-2026 school year. This year, schools should collect from TK - 12 students new to LAUSD, continuing students who have not submitted an HIF the past two school years, and students who have left and returned. By collecting as many HIFs as possible, our schools will maximize their Title 1 and Targeted Student Population (TSP) funding.
HIFs required for students enrolling from 10/3/2024 – 10/1/2025
HIFs not submitted for eligible students by the HIF submission deadline of 10/31/2025 will result in LOST SCHOOL TSP funds for each of the following school years (2026-2027 & 2027-2028). It will also negatively affect your school’s Title 1 ranking for two years.
HIF Submission Deadline is October 31, 2025
counts for 2 years of TSP funding (2026-2027 & 2027-2028)
Yes! We encourage families to submit the Household Income Form (HIF) online at https://hif.lausd.net/
