H.195 is a proposed bill introduced by Representative McGill of Bridport that aims to address the needs of homeless and runaway youth in Vermont. The bill mandates that the Department for Children and Families distribute monthly universal basic income payments specifically to individuals aged 18 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness or have run away from home. This initiative seeks to provide financial support to a vulnerable population, helping them to meet their basic needs and improve their overall well-being.
The bill does not include any specific insertions or deletions from current law, focusing solely on the establishment of the monthly income payments for the targeted demographic. By implementing this program, the state aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens faced by homeless and runaway youth, potentially leading to better outcomes in terms of stability and self-sufficiency.
