AB 1899: Office of Youth Homelessness Prevention.

The bill establishes an Office of Youth Homelessness Prevention within the California Housing and Homelessness Agency. The office's mission is to reduce youth homelessness in the state to functional zero, which means no youth experiencing homelessness exceeds the available permanent housing capacity. The office must develop and implement a comprehensive framework by September 15, 2027, with specific and measurable goals to achieve this goal. The office will track its progress and post the results on its website by December 15, 2027. An advisory committee will be consulted, and the governor will appoint its members by March 1, 2027. The office will submit annual reports to the legislature and the California Housing and Homelessness Agency to track its progress.
