Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2025

# Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 2475 would establish a pilot program providing guaranteed income (regular cash payments) to homeless or at-risk young people. If passed, the federal government would fund test programs in multiple cities to give monthly payments directly to participants ages 16-24 who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability. The bill aims to test whether guaranteed income can help young people secure housing, meet basic needs, and improve their overall stability. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The program would primarily benefit homeless and housing-insecure youth aged 16-24. It would also affect participating cities/regions selected to run the pilots, as they would receive federal funding to administer the program.

The bill would allow flexibility in how much money participants receive and for how long, as different pilot sites could test various approaches to see what works best. **Current Status** HR 2475 is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. This means it remains in the early legislative stage, where it is being reviewed and discussed before any potential floor vote. The bill was introduced by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan).
