One way that Senators build consensus and make funding decisions is by circulating "Dear Colleague" letters, asking other Senators to support specific federal program funding. The letter we are sharing with you focuses on funding for the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA) and the McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY). The goal is simple - the more lawmakers that support these vital programs by signing onto the letter, the better chance we have of getting the funding that is desperately needed.
Share this campaign on your social media accounts to help us get the word out and send a strong message to Congress that our youth experiencing homelessness need our support. Here is a draft message:
