Proposed Bill Commands Increased Attention to Education of Foster, Homeless Youths A group of senators have introduced legislation that seeks to increase access to higher education for youths in the foster care system or who have experienced homelessness. The Higher Education Access and Success for Homeless and Foster Youth Act is aimed at improving the financial aid process for such youths by amending the Higher Education Act of 1965. “The legislation..isn’t complicated,” said a statement from Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who authored the bill with Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.). “It simply reduces some of the incredible barriers that homeless and foster care youth face to make a better life through higher education.”
