Federal Policy Update on Child and Youth Homelessness

Congress is working on three separate budget proposals simultaneously: 1) a long-term budget reconciliation bill that would significantly cut mandatory safety net programs; 2) a rescissions bill that would eliminate FY2025 funding for certain programs that Congress recently approved; and 3) the annual appropriations process to provide FY2026 funding for federal discretionary programs. At the same time, the Administration continues to issue new policies that impact early childhood programs, public schools, institutions of higher education, youth service providers, and housing agencies. This webinar will provide an overview of current budget proposals and administrative actions and their impact on children, youth, and families experiencing homelessness. We will share how you can take action by talking to your legislators, sharing stories from your communities, hosting site visits, and more. This webinar is co-hosted with National Network for Youth.
