Homeless Youth Menstrual Product Access Act of 2024
This bill amends the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act to require programs receiving federal funding to provide sanitary napkins and tampons that meet industry standards. It directly affects homeless youth programs funded under the Act by adding a specific requirement for menstrual product access. The key provision (added as clause (v)) mandates that these programs must offer such products as part of their services. This change ensures consistent access to essential hygiene items for homeless youth without altering existing funding levels or creating new programs.
