Women’s and Family Protection Act of 2025
To amend the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act with respect to the definition of homeless individual, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB3319, proposes to change the definition of a "homeless individual" under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. By updating this definition, the bill aims to better protect women and families facing homelessness by ensuring they receive the necessary assistance and support. Specifically, it seeks to include more detailed criteria to identify and assist homeless women and their children more effectively.
The changes would primarily affect homeless women and families, aiming to provide them with more comprehensive support and resources. This could include better access to housing, healthcare, and other essential services. The new definition is intended to ensure that these vulnerable groups are recognized and helped more accurately and efficiently.
HB3319 was introduced on May 9, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. This means the bill is currently under review by the committee, which will assess its impact, feasibility, and alignment with existing laws before it can move forward in the legislative process.
