Broad Coalition Applauds Bipartisan Reintroduction of Homeless Children and Youth Act

SchoolHouse Connection

SchoolHouse Connection, National Network for Youth, Family Promise, and Covenant House International applaud the reintroduction of the bipartisan Homeless Children and Youth Act (S.1667) by Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) and Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD). All children, youth, and families deserve a safe place to call home. And yet, public schools identified nearly 1.4 million children and youth experiencing homelessness in the 2022-2023 school year. National estimates show that 4.2 million youth, young adults, and young parents experience homelessness on their own each year. An alarming number of these young people—especially young women—are pregnant or parenting. Nationally, an estimated 29 percent of young men and 43 percent of young women ages 18 to 25 who experience homelessness are parents to an estimated 1.1 million children. A recent study found that 447,000 infants and toddlers from birth through age three experienced homelessness. Despite this urgent crisis, many of these children, youth, and families are excluded from federal homeless assistance administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) due to restrictive definitions and funding priorities. The vast majority of children, youth, and families experiencing homelessness stay temporarily with others or in motels because they have no safe or stable alternatives—living situations that are often unsafe and highly unstable. Even when children, youth, and families in these situations are recognized by other federal agencies as experiencing homelessness and having high levels of vulnerability, they are still not eligible to be assessed for and subsequently receive HUD homeless assistance. The bipartisan Homeless Children and Youth Act addresses these problems by: Increasing Access to Housing and Services: HCYA aligns HUD’s definition of homelessness with other federal programs, allowing children, youth, and families who are verified as homeless by specific federal programs to be assessed for HUD housing and services based on that person or family’s vulnerability. Supporting Local Priorities: HCYA requires HUD to base funding decisions on local needs, plans, and outcomes—not rigid national priorities—allowing communities the flexibility to tailor resources to their most urgent needs, including youth and family homelessness. Improving Visibility and Accountability: HCYA requires local counts to include children and youth who meet the broader federal definition of homelessness, ensuring a fuller picture of the crisis and more effective local and national responses. In addition to SchoolHouse Connection, National Network for Youth, Family Promise, and Covenant House, more than 50 national organizations and hundreds of state and local organizations support this legislation. SchoolHouse Connection, Barbara Duffield, Executive Director “Now more than ever, HUD homeless assistance must be reformed to reflect how children and youth experience homelessness. Their homelessness is more hidden, but not less harmful. Bringing HUD in line with federal early care and education programs will not only remove barriers to assistance, it also will help communities leverage all available resources to stabilize some of our nation’s most vulnerable children, youth, and families.” National Network for Youth, Darla Bardine, Executive Director “Far too many youth experiencing homelessness—like those who are couch surfing—are invisible under HUD’s current definition. Because of this, they are not even assessed for services, let alone given access to the housing help they urgently need. The Homeless Children and Youth Act would fix this by aligning HUD’s definition with other federal programs, ensuring all youth experiencing homelessness are seen, counted, and supported. It’s time to remove bureaucratic barriers and meet youth where they are, so they can access the housing and stability every young person deserves.” Family Promise, Cheryl Schuch, Chief Executive Officer “At Family Promise, we believe that every child deserves a safe and stable place to call home. We work in over 40 states to prevent and end homelessness for the millions of families in a housing crisis in the United States, and we are witnesses to the negative consequences of homelessness for children’s healthy development. We applaud the bipartisan introduction of the Homeless Children and Youth Act, which will help the most vulnerable children experiencing homelessness in our communities get the assistance they need to achieve stability. This common-sense bill recognizes that intervening to help homeless children before they reach adulthood is critical for their future success and for ultimately breaking the cycle of intergenerational homelessness.” Covenant House, Bill Bedrossian, President & CEO “No young person should be denied access to critical, timely services designed to prevent longer-term homelessness. With a unified approach, stronger data systems, and greater flexibility to meet the unique needs of each young person, we can make meaningful progress toward ending youth homelessness as we know it today. We are deeply grateful to Senators Alsobrook and Britt for their leadership in introducing the Homeless Children and Youth Act, a critical step toward addressing family, child, and youth homelessness. And we look forward to collaborating with our national partners, and many others to ensure that all youth and young families in need are accounted for and supported.” For more information: Fact Sheet: https://nn4youth.org/wp-content/uploads/HCYA-Fact-Sheet.pdf Bill Text: https://www.alsobrooks.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/MIR25534-1.pdf Endorsing Organizations: https://nn4youth.org/wp-content/uploads/HCYA-Organizational-Endorsers.pdf Senator Alsobrooks Press Release: https://www.alsobrooks.senate.gov/press-releases/alsobrooks-and-britt-introduce-bipartisan-homeless-children-and-youth-act/ NN4Y Take Action Page: nn4youth.org/take-action-center/hcya/ SHC HCYA Page: https://schoolhouseconnection.org/article/bipartisan-legislation-to-help-homeless-children-and-youth-reintroduced CONTACT INFORMATION: SchoolHouse Connection: barbara@schoolhouseconnection.org National Network for Youth: darla.bardine@nn4youth.org Covenant House International: lmaloney@covenanthouse.org Family Promise: cbaldari@familypromise.org ### SchoolHouse Connection works to overcome homelessness, from prenatal to postsecondary, through strategic advocacy and practical assistance in partnership with youth, families, schools, early childhood programs, institutions of higher education, and service providers.

Callan Family Office Names Jeffrey Getty Chief Tax Strategist

Callan Family Office

Callan Family Office, a registered investment advisor serving ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, foundations and endowments across the United States, today announced that it had named Jeff Getty as Chief Tax Strategist. In this new role, Getty will oversee firm‑wide research and strategy on complex income, transfer and international tax issues for ultra‑high‑net‑worth families, closely held businesses and private investment firms. “For ultra-high-net-worth families, every decision they make carries significant tax implications, so it is vital that we incorporate taxes into all the work we do,” said Jack Ginter, Chief Executive Officer of Callan Family Office. “Jeff’s deep experience and decades of work in taxes makes him an ideal person to lead this effort on behalf of our clients.” Previously, Getty held positions with Key Private Bank, including leading the family wealth consulting team and forming the bank’s Business Advisory practice. At Callan Family Office, he will continue to advise on transaction tax strategies for business owners preparing for a sale. “Many firms offer investment management and traditional wealth management, but we believe that strategic tax planning is essential to ensuring that we are taking complete accountability for our clients’ wealth,” Getty said. “I look forward to helping our team and clients navigate the ever-changing landscape of tax policy.” Getty holds a Juris Doctor and Master of Science in Taxation. In addition, he is a Fellow in the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel (ACTEC®), Accredited Estate Planner (AEP®), Certified Merger & Acquisition Advisor (CM&AA®), Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), and Certified Value Growth Advisor (CVGA®). He is author of the book The Descent is the Real Climb: The Unexpected Truths About Successful Business Transitions. Last year, Callan Family Office introduced a technology-enabled, Tax Overlay Management program developed to maximize after-tax returns for wealthy families. The program empowers Callan Family Office’s investment partners to make personalized, tax-aware trading decisions in client portfolios instead of outsourcing portfolio implementation to third-party asset managers with a partial view of clients' assets. This gives clients greater control over the size and timing of capital gains taxes in their portfolios, allowing them to optimize outcomes across complex ownership structures, with CFO investment partners using firsthand knowledge of the family's overall financial situation to deliver a tailored solution for equity portfolio management. About Callan Family Office Independently owned and operated, Callan Family Office was founded by experienced wealth professionals to provide investment management, thoughtful personalized advice, and holistic financial planning to ultra-high-net-worth families, family offices, foundations, and endowments. The firm's principals have spent their careers serving ultra-high-net-worth clients, family offices, and institutions. Callan Family Office has agreements with Callan LLC to use the Callan ® tradename in providing investment advisory services to the ultra-high-net-worth market segment and to access Callan's institutional quality research, education, and investment guidance experience. Callan Family Office and Callan LLC are independent, unaffiliated investment advisory firms separately registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Self-Therapy is Free!

The Stuttering Foundation

To mark National Stuttering Awareness Week (May 12-18), our classic book, Self-Therapy for the Stutterer, is now available as a 65-minute film from The Stuttering Foundation ( StutteringHelp.org ). It is available free to everyone through the end of National Stuttering Awareness Week by visiting our streaming video library at http://www.stutteringhelp.org/streaming and using the promotion code: NSAW25. Based on the timeless self-help book, now in its 11 th edition, by Stuttering Foundation Founder, Malcolm Fraser, this new video, Self-Therapy for Those Who Stutter, provides a powerful message to all who view it: If you stutter, you do not need to surrender helplessly to your speech difficulty because you can change the way you talk. There is no quick and easy way to tackle the problem, but with the right approach, self-therapy can be effective! Noted speech therapist, Dr. Charles Van Riper, praised this important guide and the concepts it explains: “There are always some who stutter who are unable to get professional help and others who do not seem to be able to profit from it. There are some who prefer to be their own therapist. Malcolm Fraser has provided guidance for those who must help themselves. Knowing well from his own experience as a stutterer the difficulties of self-therapy, he outlines a series of objectives and challenges that should serve as a map for the person who is lost in the dismal swamp of stuttering and wants to find a way out.” “While there are many differing opinions today about stuttering therapy, one thing is for sure, the tried and true techniques in this video have been effective for decades,” said Bob O’Brien, producer of the film. “When I first read Malcolm Fraser’s book, I was struck by how it reads like a self-training program. I knew then it needed to be made into a video, and that it would have a great impact on the audience.” Tom Sharstein, co-founder and chairman of the World Stuttering Network, demonstrated the techniques introduced by Malcom Fraser and shared his own personal experience with stuttering throughout the video. “Malcolm Fraser’s concepts are timeless, and this book changed my life,” said Sharstein. “When I was asked to be part of this project, I had to dig back many years to the dark ages of my stutter, and hopefully through this video, you'll be able to see my progression. The techniques laid out in this film will help you obtain smoother speech, if you want it.” A trusted source of information on stuttering, Stuttering Foundation materials are as close as your nearest public library. For decades, The Stuttering Foundation has made its books and videos available for free to public libraries across the country. Today, through the generosity of benefactors, more than 16,000 libraries shelve these materials. Public libraries can request the DVD free of charge by submitting the updated request form. About the Stuttering Foundation Malcolm Fraser, a successful businessman who struggled with stuttering, established the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation in 1947 and endowed it throughout his lifetime. The Foundation provides free online resources at StutteringHelp.org for people who stutter and their families, as well as support for research into the causes of stuttering.

The system includes signal analysis functionality that evaluates various information sources including news developments, market indicators, and liquidity measures. This allows for adjustments based on substantive market signals while reducing responses to temporary movements. Through text analysis techniques, the platform examines communications from policy institutions, corporate statements, and sentiment information. The system identifies language patterns that may precede market developments, providing forward-looking perspectives. The platform also includes pre-configured response capabilities that adjust client positions based on specific scenarios. During a recent yield curve development in February, HorizonPointe Financial Group reports the system adjusted numerous client portfolios promptly, helping to reduce potential negative impacts. Balanced Approach HorizonPointe Financial Group has designed its platform to complement rather than replace professional assessment, where technology enhances rather than substitutes for experienced judgment and client service. "We utilize technology to identify potential opportunities, while maintaining professional judgment," Watkins explained. "Our clients appreciate technological capabilities combined with experienced oversight when making important financial decisions." Recent market research suggests many clients prefer this balanced approach, combining technological analysis with professional guidance rather than fully automated solutions. HorizonPointe Financial Group has developed methods to communicate technical insights in clear terms. The firm's advisors receive specific training to effectively explain technology-assisted decisions using accessible concepts rather than technical terminology. Client Applications HorizonPointe Financial Group notes adoption across various client segments, with applications differing based on client needs and objectives. Institutional clients using the platform have implemented portfolio structures that maintain growth potential while including protective elements. Family office clients have utilized the system to identify potential opportunities in smaller market segments that conventional methods might overlook. For individual clients, HorizonPointe Financial Group has customized the platform to provide allocation approaches responding to life changes, access requirements, and preference adjustments—moving beyond fixed models toward more responsive portfolio alignment. The firm plans to introduce a mobile information dashboard later in 2025, providing clients with clear visibility into portfolio decisions, customized notifications, and individual market updates based on the platform's analytical capabilities. Ongoing Development HorizonPointe Financial Group's commitment to analytical capabilities reflects its assessment that differentiation in investment services increasingly involves technological capabilities alongside traditional services. "The investment management field continues to integrate human expertise with technological capabilities," Watkins noted. "HorizonPointe Financial Group has oriented its investment processes and client experience around this industry development." The firm has expanded its research team over the past 18 months and established a dedicated review committee to ensure technology development adheres to appropriate investment principles. This committee includes external technology specialists alongside HorizonPointe Financial Group investment professionals. As markets continue displaying increased complexity, HorizonPointe Financial Group's technology-enhanced approach reflects broader changes in investment management—where analytical capabilities serve as core components rather than supplementary tools.
