Congress could offer necessary, crisis services for homeless youth by appropriating $165 million in fiscal year (FY) 2010, a $50 million increase over the FY 2009 level for the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) programs. The Administration’s FY 2010 budget did not include an increase for the program, proposing level funding of $115 million.
