Relates to the maximum age at which a homeless youth can continue to receive shelter services

This bill proposes to increase the maximum age for homeless youth to receive transitional independent living shelter services from twenty-one to twenty-four. Under the new provision, eligible young people who entered these programs before turning twenty-four could continue receiving support beyond the current authorized period, provided the municipality notifies the office of children and family services. The change applies immediately upon enactment and directly affects the eligibility criteria for youth accessing specific housing assistance programs.
