进程数据方面,截至 8 月 31 日,DCFS 已完成 300 多场资格筛查访谈;到 9 月 6 日,900 名符合资格的青年全部访谈完毕;截至 9 月 5 日,已有 150 人转介至洛杉矶市住房局(HACLA)、70 人转介至洛杉矶县发展局(LACDA),合计 220 人。DCFS 自 9 月 1 日起实施强化流程,以符合联邦新规要求。

Los Angeles County Foster Youth Housing Voucher Program: All 900 Eligible Young Adults Screened, 220 Referred to Housing Authorities
In Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, an October 5 report from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to the Board of Supervisors shows that screening for the county's Foster Youth to Independence Initiative (FYI) housing voucher program is complete: all 900 eligible young adults in the county have been interviewed to determine eligibility.
On the timeline, DCFS had conducted more than 300 screening interviews as of August 31, all 900 eligible young adults had been interviewed by September 6, and, as of September 5, 150 referrals had been provided to the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and 70 to the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA), for a total of 220. DCFS implemented an enhanced process effective September 1 to comply with the new federal guidance.
On policy, the Board of Supervisors on August 4 adopted a motion directing DCFS and the Department of Homeless Services and Housing, in partnership with LACDA, to report back on the program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Notice PIH 2026-19, issued July 27, 2026, made several changes to the program: it removes the competitive process in favor of non-competitive funding, expands the period to identify eligible youth and begin the housing process from 90 to 180 days, and raises the new incremental voucher assistance available nationally from approximately $12.75 million under the previous notice to approximately $38.2 million.
Following approval of FYI voucher requests, the report notes, HUD may take up to 60 business days to complete the funding process.
