B 26-0474 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Pathways to Prosperity for Young Parents Pilot Amendment Act of 2025

This bill creates a one-year pilot program for young parents aged 16-24 in Washington D.C. who are custodial or non-custodial parents of children under 18. It provides up to 100 employment vouchers to subsidize 50% of market-rate wages (up to 40 hours weekly) for participating employers, requiring them to cover the remaining wages and provide standard employee benefits. Employers must commit to considering participants for permanent roles after the subsidy ends. The program targets a gap in existing youth employment services by directly supporting young parents' workforce entry and stability through wage subsidies and employer partnerships.
