Dare to Dream, HOPE Act Prioritizes Street Youth
- Issue: The HOPE Act is a legislative plan that is designed to address the immediate and future developmental needs of adolescents who are homeless and/or street-involved. Standing for “Homeless youth Prevention/ Protection and Engagement Act,” the HOPE act would provide millions of dollars for a continuum of services to the state’s street youth, a group that is usually overlooked in social service planning.
- One year ago the HOPE Act made its debut in the Real Change newspaper (January 1998) as a fledgling idea by longtime youth advocate and therapist Jim Theofelis. Now, supported by numerous social service organizations and advocacy groups, the HOPE Act has captured the interest of several state senators whose staff members are working on a draft of a bill that could be introduced in the next month.
