Bill > HR508

This bill, the Trafficking Victims Housing Act of 2019, requires the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, in coordination with other agencies, to conduct a study assessing the availability and accessibility of housing and services for homeless individuals who are victims of trafficking or at risk of being trafficked. The study will evaluate assessment methods, review available homelessness and housing services, assess the ability of mainstream services to meet the specialized needs of trafficking victims, evaluate effective housing models, and identify best practices. The bill requires the Council to submit an interim report within 18 months and a final report within 36 months of enactment.
