Summary
The bill authorizes the state to sell up to $1 billion in general‑obligation bonds and places the proceeds in a Youth Housing Bond Fund. The money must be awarded to local agencies, nonprofits, or joint ventures to build, renovate, or equip youth centers and youth housing for ages 12‑25, with $100 million earmarked for centers and $900 million for housing. It aims to address California’s high rate of homeless and at‑risk youth by providing dedicated, locally‑administered funding.
