The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is offering the Youth Homeless Demonstration Program (YHDP) for Fiscal Year 2024, aimed at allocating approximately $72 million to support communities in effectively addressing youth homelessness. The program seeks to select between 12 and 25 communities, particularly those with significant rural populations, to develop and implement a Coordinated Community Plan (CCP) and a Continuous Quality Improvement Plan (CQIP) that will enhance strategies for preventing and ending youth homelessness among individuals aged 24 and under, including unaccompanied and parenting youth. Eligible applicants must be designated Collaborative Applicants within their Continuum of Care (CoC) and are required to meet specific criteria, including cost-sharing provisions. Interested parties should note that applications must be submitted electronically by April 17, 2025, and can reach out to Nili Soni at youthdemo@hud.gov for further information.
