This work led to the passage of HB2079, sponsored by Representative Walt Blackman. After years of advocacy, this new law finally creates a safe, legal housing pathway for homeless youth ages 16 and 17 in Arizona a major step forward after repeated setbacks in previous sessions. We collaborated closely with housing providers, bipartisan lawmakers, the Governor's Office, and juvenile justice experts from the Arizona Supreme Court to ensure the bill's success and strong legal foundation. HB2079 passed with overwhelming bipartisan support 563 in the House and 281 in the Senate. Governor Hobbs signed it into law on April 18, 2025, following her strong backing. During the process, Senate Majority Leader, Janae Shamp, honored Homeless Youth Connection with a Legislative Proclamation, recognizing our critical work in ending youth homelessness and expanding educational opportunities. 448067 448067 1895892 100071 1795821 4859 3888 971 2244859 Operating lease right of use asset 191150 DEPOSITS 8422 199572 Operating lease liability 217507 Operating line of credit 7180 224687 X 3442296 0 3442296 0 3442296 2924147 0 2924147 0 2924147 Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated the tax positions taken on its exempt organization filings, and the likelihood that upon examination those positions would be sustained.
