Foster Youth Housing Opportunity Act aims to improve housing access for youth who have experienced foster care.
The Foster Youth Housing Opportunity Act seeks to enhance housing access for youth who have experienced foster care by amending the Social Security Act. It mandates the development of joint guidance by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to better align housing services with foster care programs. The act also allows states to use funds for supportive services, including financial literacy counseling and rental assistance, to help these youth obtain or retain housing.
