#LetsBringFSHOHome
Throughout the month of December 2020, foster care youth, alumni and allies throughout the nation are invited to call their United States Senate representatives and ask them to champion the Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act of 2019 (S. 2803).
A federal bill becomes law by passing through the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, and then signed by the President.
- The Fostering Stable Housing Opportunities Act (HR 4300) has already passed unanimously in the House of Representatives on November 18, 2019.
- We are hoping that the partner bill as introduced in the United States Senate will also pass by unanimous consent.
1.) Who can I call?
