With government funding set to expire December 20th and a massive to-do list, what will Congress accomplish before the clock runs out? How will their actions – or inaction – impact child and youth homeless programs? This session will provide breaking updates on current federal policy issues related to child, youth, and family homelessness. We also will share forecasts on K12 education, higher education, housing, homelessness, and early childhood policy. Attendees will learn strategies for educating and communicating with policymakers.
