Summary of Bill HR 7451

Bill 118 HR 7451, also known as the Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2024, is a proposed piece of legislation in the US Congress. The bill aims to address the issue of youth homelessness by establishing a pilot program that would provide guaranteed income to homeless youth.

Under the terms of the bill, eligible participants would receive a monthly stipend to help cover basic living expenses such as food, shelter, and clothing. The goal of the program is to provide financial stability to homeless youth and help them transition out of homelessness.

The pilot program would be implemented in select cities across the country, with a focus on areas with high rates of youth homelessness. The program would be funded through a combination of federal and state resources, as well as private donations. Supporters of the bill argue that providing guaranteed income to homeless youth can help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness, and give young people the support they need to build a better future for themselves. Critics, however, raise concerns about the cost of the program and its long-term sustainability. Overall, Bill 118 HR 7451 represents a bipartisan effort to address the issue of youth homelessness through innovative and targeted solutions. If passed, the bill has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of homeless youth across the country.
