2024 Survey of County Child Welfare Agencies: Impact of the Proposed Elimination of the Housing Navigation & Maintenance Program

This publication summarizes findings of a survey administered to county child welfare agencies that partner with their local Public Housing Authority to provide special population Housing Choice Vouchers to former foster youth.

The purpose of the survey was to determine the potential impact of the proposed elimination of the Housing Navigation and Maintenance Program in the 2024-25 state budget. Counties commonly use this funding to assist youth with federal housing vouchers with identifying and securing housing with their voucher.
