This bill, titled the Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2025 , aims to establish a pilot program providing comprehensive housing assistance to certain homeless individuals. The program targets emancipated minors and individuals aged 18 to 29 who are experiencing homelessness, recognizing the significant barriers they face, including systemic racism, age discrimination, and a lack of affordable housing. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with creating a database of eligible homeless individuals and selecting up to 105,000 participants for the pilot program. Selection criteria will ensure representation of diverse demographics and low-income geographic areas, explicitly prohibiting the use of citizenship or immigration status as a factor. All participants in the 36-month program will receive various non-financial support services. These include housing navigation services , financial coaching courses, workforce development, educational attainment services, and education on landlord-tenant laws. Additional services may be recommended by the National Youth Economic Advisory Council and an External Partner. A randomly selected group of participants will also receive a guaranteed monthly cash payment for 36 consecutive months. Each payment will be at least $1,400 or the adjusted fair market rent for a two-bedroom home in their ZIP Code, with options for lump-sum payments for the first year and flexible payment methods. A crucial component of the bill is a comprehensive study on the pilot program's effects, conducted in coordination with an External Partner. The study will analyze the impact of program payments on participants' housing outcomes, microeconomic stability, physical and mental health, and the social cost of homelessness. It will also evaluate the feasibility of expanding the program and using direct cash transfers to reduce homelessness nationwide. The bill establishes a National Youth Economic Advisory Council to provide recommendations on database creation, participant selection criteria, forms of assistance, and modifications to fair market rent calculations. Importantly, participation in the pilot program, including receiving payments, will not affect eligibility for other federal or state benefits, will not be considered gross income for tax purposes, and will not be used to determine public charge status under immigration law. Strict privacy protections are included, prohibiting unauthorized disclosure of participant information.
