We must continue educating Congress about the needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness as well as the essential role RHYTPA programs will achieve in addressing those needs. This effort is crucial to ensure the final FY 2025 budget contains greater investments for EHCY and RHYA. ACT NOW by signing the petitions in our linktree to send an email to your U.S. Representative and Senators, urging them to advocate for increased funding for EHCY and RHYA as the appropriations process moves forward. https://lnkd.in/g-RVjrBC #ThriveYouthCenter #GoGreenForQueerYouth #HouseAllYouth #KnowTheFacts #ThriveConnectingCommunity #NYHAM #homelessnessissolvable
