Develop and implement a CCP to prevent and end youth homelessness [Section III.F.b] Apply for project funding up to an amount between $600,000 and $15 million per community, based on each community’s youth population size and poverty rate, for a total demonstration amount of approximately $60 million [Section II.C] Request funding for all project types allowed under the CoC Program to support homeless youth, as well as innovative project types that may require a waiver or exception of CoC Program or McKinney-Vento Act requirements [Appendix A ] Request funding for a 2-year grant term that will be eligible for renewal under the CoC Program, as long as the project meets statutory CoC Program requirements [Section II.D] Have technical assistance available to them to advise the development and implementation of the CCP [Section I.A] NOFO Priority The purpose of the YHDP is to implement projects that demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth age 24 and under can dramatically reduce youth homelessness.
The population to be served by this demonstration program is youth experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth.
In order to effectively implement a system that addresses the needs of youth experiencing homelessness, Continuums of Care (CoCs) must understand the subgroups of unaccompanied youth and incorporate those understandings into the YHDP CCP and awarded projects.
This will require CoCs to use innovative practices to design better projects and strong comprehensive plans to prevent and end youth homelessness.
