AB52 Enacted!

Publish Date: November 25, 2019

Pathfinders fully supported Assembly Bill 52 as it was being considered by the Wisconsin legislature and are grateful for Governor Evers’ approval given the impact this legislation will have on our community’s youth who are 17 years old, unaccompanied and without parental support, and in critical need of shelter care or transitional living program support.

We offer both types of housing support at Pathfinders and understand first-hand the many barriers and challenges some 17-year-old youth face when they are in need of homelessness prevention and housing services but lack parent support and involvement. With the Governor’s approval of AB 52, these youth will face one less barrier when needing to access our youth shelter and transitional living program services.
