## Summary

**Youth Homelessness Guaranteed Income Pilot Program** would create a federal pilot that pairs monthly cash payments with housing and career supports to test whether guaranteed income reduces youth homelessness. It combines a randomized cash experiment, a nationwide participant database, and a mandated evaluation to study scalability and public-cost effects. - Young people: The program would draw up to 105,000 participants ages 18 through 29 from a national homeless database and would not consider citizenship in selection. It would include non-cash services like housing navigation, financial coaching, and workforce supports. - Cash and services design: Participants would receive monthly cash and supports for 36 months with a payment floor of $1,400 or an adjusted two-bedroom ZIP-code rent. Up to half of recipients may be offered an optional lump-sum payment in year one and payments can be delivered by multiple methods. - Research, privacy, and oversight: An External Partner would run the evaluation under Secretary oversight and a National Youth Economic Advisory Council would guide design. The database must be destroyed within 30 days after the Council ends and improper use of data can trigger fines up to $25,000.
