                      PROUD OF 360 YOUTH SERVICES

  (Mr. FOSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FOSTER. Madam Speaker, for decades, the issue of homeless LGBTQ-
plus youth hasn't gotten the attention it deserves, even as it is 
estimated they make up between 20 and 40 percent of all homeless youth 
in the United States.
  That is why I am so proud that the Federal omnibus recently passed by 
Congress included $3 billion for 360 Youth Services in Naperville so 
that they can launch a youth-affordable housing resource center to 
provide youth-specific housing and homelessness prevention services in 
DuPage, Kane, Will, and surrounding counties.
  In the 11th Congressional District, we value our young people of all 
gender identities and sexual orientations. I am proud of what 360 Youth 
Services has planned for this funding.
  Altogether, our office secured nearly $19 million for very worthwhile 
projects in Illinois' 11th Congressional District that will benefit our 
entire community. This will be taxpayer money well spent.
