General's Office to support the Mayor's Office of Consumer Information.

The committee reviewed the FY27 Homeless Youth Program grant of $934,000, which funds
countywide services for youth ages 18 to 24 experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including
housing assistance, case management, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and support for
youth aging out of foster care.
