Do unhoused youth have a property interest in shelter programs?

The notion of procedural due process derives from the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Procedural due process arises when the federal government (or e.g., a community agency receiving federal funding) acts in such a way as to deprive a person of life, liberty, or property.

Our Practice Guide seeks to educate advocates and attorneys about best practices for challenging and preventing termination of services for youth and young adults across several housing programs, including identifying funding sources, ensuring compliance with current guidelines regarding “safe and appropriate exits,”  and filing law suits when and if necessary.
