The McKinney-Vento Act Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) program.

• The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) program. The RHYA program serves homeless youth by meeting their immediate needs, providing long-term residential services, and conducting prevention and outreach efforts to move youth out of homelessness. The President requested $123 million for RHYA, a $7 million increase above the current level of $114 million. In addition, the budget proposal includes $2 million for a national study on homeless youth.
