(Washington, D.C.) – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded $60.3 million to build systems to end youth homelessness in 16 communities across the country, including four rural communities.
The funding was awarded through HUD’s Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) to support a wide range of housing programs, including rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and host homes.
YHDP recipients will use their funding to address youth homelessness that is specifically tailored to their needs, including funding for housing units, wrap-around services, and housing support. YHDP will also support youth-focused performance measurement and coordinated entry systems.
