Subject:

Your Letter: I’m writing to urge you to sign on as co-sponsor the Homeless Children and Youth Act (S. 256, H.R. 576). This bipartisan legislation would make it easier for homeless children and youth to get help – no matter where they happen to live. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD’s) current definition of homelessness excludes most children and youth who are actually homeless: those staying in motels, or temporarily with others because they have nowhere else to go. Nearly 1.3 million homeless students were identified by public schools last year. These children and youth face real harm, including negative emotional, educational, and health outcomes. They are at high risk of physical and sexual abuse and trafficking. The HCYA would cut the red tape and return decision-making to local communities. It would amend HUD’s definition of homelessness to include children and youth who are verified as homeless through HUD’s homeless assistance programs and through other federal programs, such as Runaway and Homeless Youth Act programs, Violence Against Women programs, and public school district homeless liaisons. In addition, the legislation would allow – but not require - local service providers to prioritize funding for homeless families and unaccompanied youth based on the needs in their community. The HCYA contains no new mandates, and costs nothing. Whether newly eligible families and youth receive services would depend on communities’ assessments of their own needs. Please sign on as a co-sponsor of the HCYA today to help over one million homeless children and youth lead safer, healthier lives and have a better chance for a brighter future.
