Establishes a child welfare housing assistance program to provide housing support to families involved with the child welfare system.

The bill establishes a child welfare housing assistance program to provide housing vouchers, rental assistance, and other support services to eligible families. Eligible families include parents with dependent children facing housing instability and parents of children at risk of foster care placement due to housing issues. The program aims to prevent out-of-home placement and shorten the time children spend in out-of-home care. The Department of Children, Youth, and Families will operate or contract for the program's operation, with a focus on equitable distribution of support.
