The bipartisan Homeless Children and Youth Act of 2017 was reintroduced on March 14, 2017 by Senator Feinstein (D-CA), Senator Portman (D-OH), Congressman Stivers (R-OH- 15) and Congressman Loebsack (D-IA-2). Over 1.2 million students were identified as homeless in the 2014-2015 school year, a 34 percent increase since the end of the recession in the summer of 2009. Homelessness jeopardizes the health and well-being of record numbers of children and youth, putting future generations at risk of adult homelessness. This fact sheet details the barriers currently facing homeless children, youth and families in the U.S. and how this legislation would re-tool federal homeless assistance to allow communities more flexibility to effectively meet the unique developmental needs of homeless children, youth, and families.
