Youth Homelessness Interventions (2025)

Senate Page, Amanat Narwal, asks House Early Learning and Human Services Committee Chair: Steve Bergquist, (D) 11th District, and Ranking Committee Member, Carolyn Eslick, (R) 39th District, "... I learned that youth homelessness has become a rampant issue in Washington State, with rates at an all time high for the last school year. What sort of legislation do you propose that would provide programs to students suffering from homelessness in order to get them ready to be independent?"

The Early Learning & Human Services Committee considers a broad array of issues and services affecting children and families, including early learning; child care; child and youth development; child welfare services; children’s mental health; at-risk and homeless youth; juvenile justice; economic assistance programs; developmental disabilities; and long-term care.
