HR 2479 United States House · 119th Congress

Homes for Young Adults Act of 2025

This bill creates an entitlement program guaranteeing housing vouchers to young adults aged 18-30 experiencing homelessness, directly addressing systemic barriers that currently prevent them from accessing housing assistance. It requires public housing agencies to provide voluntary support services (like job training and housing navigation) while prohibiting discrimination based on credit history, immigration status, or other protected factors. Funded starting in fiscal year 2027, the program targets vulnerable youth disproportionately affected by homelessness, including Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ communities. By expanding access to housing choice vouchers and reducing wait times from 132-140 days, it aims to improve housing stability and reduce homelessness for this population.
