Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 17:3399.24

  • Foster youth: means any individual in the care, custody, or guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services in the foster care program for any six of the seventy-two months immediately prior to his eighteenth birthday. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 17:3399.21

            In order to ensure that current and former homeless and foster youth have access to stable housing, a public postsecondary education institution that offers student housing may develop a plan to provide that these students have access to housing resources as needed during and between academic terms. The plan may grant them first priority for housing placement and provide that they be placed in the institution’s housing facility that remains open for occupation during the most days in a calendar year.
