The HOME for Foster Youth Act extends housing assistance eligibility for foster youth.
The HOME for Foster Youth Act amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to extend the eligibility period for foster youth to receive tenant-based rental assistance. It changes the requirement from leaving foster care within 90 days to within 180 days and removes the condition of being homeless or at risk of homelessness at age 16 or older. The Act also tasks the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development with updating guidance and notices to reflect these changes.
