There has been an unprecedented increase in collaboration both among federal agencies and between the government and locally driven efforts to ensure that youth homelessness is prevented whenever possible, and that unaccompanied youth who do experience homelessness are on a quick path to safe, stable, and permanent housing.

HUD’s Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is designed to drastically reduce the number of youth experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied, pregnant & parenting youth. ODFC was awarded $3.01 million in August 2019 for round 3 YHDP funding. Projects are expected to be executed in October 2020 with 2-year grant terms.
