Committee warned housing scarcity limits use of 10 youth vouchers
Summary
Deb Jones told the Citizens' Advisory Committee that 10 youth housing vouchers exist but a shortage of available housing is preventing their use.
The advisory committee heard an update on the youth housing voucher program: Deb Jones reported there are 10 vouchers available to youth but that a lack of available housing is limiting their use. The shortage of units, not voucher funding, was identified as the primary barrier to placing youth in housing.
Director Crystal Natan acknowledged the housing scarcity as a challenge tied to broader community shortages and said agency staff are monitoring options to place voucher-holders. The committee did not record additional program details such as funding sources or timelines in the minutes provided.
