HOME for Foster Youth Act Housing Opportunities for Moving to...
To amend the United States Housing Act of 1937 to alter the eligibility requirements for eligible youths to receive tenant-based rental assistance, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB9072, proposes to change the rules for who can get help with paying rent from the government. Currently, some young people who were in the foster care system might qualify for this help. The bill wants to expand who can get this rental assistance, making it easier for more young people to find stable housing after they leave foster care.
The bill would affect young people who have been in foster care, helping them transition to independent living with more financial support. If passed, it could make a big difference for those who might struggle to find housing on their own.
HB9072 was introduced on May 29, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services for further review. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the bill will need to be reviewed, debated, and possibly amended before it can be voted on by the full House.
