The Task Force first is to study and compile data on Maryland's population of unaccompanied homeless youth, where these youth are concentrated, and why they are homeless. The needs of these youths are to be assessed by the Task Force, and the programs and resources to meet those needs will be examined, and gaps in those programs and resources identified. Finally, the Task Force will recommend legislative and policy initiatives to meet the needs of unaccompanied homeless youth, as well as determine the budgetary and funding priorities necessary to meet those needs.
Authorization for the Task Force extends through June 30, 2014.
