Extended Support and Anti-Trafficking Measures for Homeless Youth Under 26
This law reauthorizes and expands federal programs for runaway and homeless youth, explicitly defining eligibility for transitional housing and support services (Part B) as youth less than 26 years of age. It mandates that service providers offer trauma-informed care, explicitly prohibit discrimination, and actively assist youth in securing independent student status for college financial aid. The changes aim to provide a more stable and equitable pathway to adulthood for vulnerable populations.
