Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program

The goal of the Youth Homeless Demonstration Program (YHDP) is to support selected communities in the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness and sharing that experience with and mobilizing communities around the country toward the same end. The population to be served by this demonstration program is youth experiencing homelessness, age 24 and under, including unaccompanied youth and pregnant or parenting youth who are experiencing homelessness. HUD will award approximately $72,000,000 in YHDP under this NOFO through funding appropriated for fiscal year (FY) 2023 through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328) ("FY 2023 Appropriations Act). The FY 2023 Appropriations Act appropriated this funding to HUD "to implement projects to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and under ... can dramatically reduce youth homelessness.”
