Bill 119 HR 671, also known as the "Interagency Task Force on Vital Documents Access for Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Act," aims to address the challenges faced by unaccompanied homeless youth in obtaining vital documents such as birth certificates, social security cards, and state identification cards.
The bill proposes the establishment of an interagency task force that will be responsible for coordinating efforts between federal, state, and local agencies to streamline the process of obtaining these vital documents for homeless youth. The task force will also work to identify barriers that prevent homeless youth from accessing these documents and develop strategies to overcome them.
Additionally, the bill requires the task force to submit a report to Congress within one year of its establishment, detailing its findings and recommendations for improving access to vital documents for unaccompanied homeless youth. This report will help inform future policy decisions and initiatives aimed at supporting this vulnerable population.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 671 seeks to address a critical issue facing unaccompanied homeless youth and ensure that they have the necessary documentation to access essential services and opportunities. By establishing an interagency task force and promoting collaboration between agencies, this legislation has the potential to make a meaningful impact on the lives of homeless youth across the country.
