Runaway and Homeless Youth and Trafficking Prevention Act of 2025

This bill creates federal grant programs to support runaway and homeless youth aged 15-26, with priority for those under 22. It establishes Basic Center Grants for temporary shelter and services, Transitional Living Grants for longer-term housing with support services, and Prevention Services Grants to help youth at risk of homelessness. The bill requires all services to be trauma-informed, culturally appropriate, and tailored to youth's age, gender, and developmental needs, with specific attention to vulnerable populations including LGBTQ youth, youth of color, and those in child welfare or justice systems. It also mandates data collection on trafficking incidents and services provided to youth victims, while requiring coordination with education, health, and social service systems.
