Time frames for runaway and homeless youth shelter services.

A Local Law to the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to time frames for runaway and homeless youth shelter services

Recently enacted amendments to the New York State Runaway and Homeless Youth Act extends the periods of time youth may remain in runaway and homeless youth shelters if municipalities include those extended time limits in the runaway and homeless youth plan submitted to the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. This bill would require that runaway and homeless youth would be permitted to remain in runaway and homeless youth shelters for the extended time limits.
