Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program
14.276
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.”
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the

About the data page.
HUD funded 10 communities, four of which are rural, that developed coordinated community plans to prevent and end youth homelessness. The strategy includes youth advisory boards comprised of young people with lived homelessness experience who are raising awareness, shaping policy, and making decisions on local plan development and implementation.
HUD has funded 96 YHDP communities since 2017; together, these communities account for nearly 650 individual projects for assisting youth experiencing homelessness.
The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program has contributed to a reduction in youth homelessness and the provision of more housing assistance for youth that may experience homelessness.
