Explanation of H.R. 2069 - Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act of 2018

H.R. 2069 is a bill introduced in the House of Representatives to provide priority in certain federally assisted housing programs for youths who are aging out of foster care. The bill aims to assist these vulnerable youths by giving them preference for occupancy in public housing and voucher assistance programs. It also sets requirements for education or training for those benefiting from the housing assistance.

The bill includes provisions for eligibility criteria, such as age and compliance with specific educational or career pathway requirements. It also mandates annual verification of compliance and termination of assistance for those not meeting the criteria.

Additionally, the bill requires the development of guidance for public housing agencies and housing owners to implement these provisions effectively and in compliance with the law.
