HUD's Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program Funding Opportunity is Now Open!

Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). Under the program, up to ten communities (at least four rural) will be awarded a total of $33 million to design and implement a coordinated community response to ending youth homelessness. The deadline for submission is November 30.

In order to end youth homelessness, every community must build a coordinated community response, in which a full range of programs and interventions are aligned into an effective system that is managed across community programs. The YHDP builds upon the USICH vision of a coordinated community response released in September 2015 by providing resources to the chosen communities to design and implement this approach.

To learn more about the NOFA, read our blog.

Register for our webinar on September 15 to hear strategies for success in responding to the NOFA.
