On the recordMay 19, 2026
the Foster Youth Housing Opportunity Act, which I co-lead with Chairman LaHood, would exempt housing supportive services, such as security deposits and utility connection fees, from the 30 percent housing cap under Chafee. This will allow States the opportunity to provide more youth with rental and housing assistance. Mr. Speaker, I also lift up the bill that I have with Mr. Carey called the CONNECT Act. It amends the statutory purposes of the Chafee program to help youth create meaningful connections with adults and build a lifelong support network as a core purpose of the Chafee program.
