A Policy Agenda to Address California’s Homeless Youth
At a press conference on Monday, Senators Carol Liu and Alan Lowenthal unveiled legislative proposals to address the issue of youth homelessness in our state. The first proposal by Senator Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge) would call on the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) to develop a coordinated statewide plan by 2013 to reduce youth homelessness. The second proposal (SB 119) authored by Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) and co-authored by Senator Liu would establish state licensing regulations for homeless youth shelters.
Ginny Puddefoot, Project Director for the California Homeless Youth Project, also spoke at the event to announce preliminary findings from our soon-to-be released report entitled, “Programs Serving California's Homeless Youth: A Point-in-Time Survey.” To learn more about the report and yesterday’s events, listen to the piece by Capitol Public Radio or watch the full press conference on The California Channel.
