AI Contract Overview
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is offering funding through two distinct programs aimed at addressing youth homelessness for individuals aged 24 and under. The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Initiative (YHSI) grants and the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) provide separate funding sources designed to support communities in reducing youth homelessness by implementing comprehensive housing solutions and related services. These programs target not only housing stabilization but also services addressing chronic health conditions, substance use, domestic violence, childhood abuse, and employment barriers. Approximately 50 communities will be selected for YHSI grants to either establish new youth homelessness response systems or enhance existing ones. Meanwhile, YHDP will fund between 26 and 50 communities, with special consideration given to those serving substantial rural populations. HUD will also provide technical assistance to the communities awarded funding under these programs to support project implementation and improvement. Participation in evaluation activities conducted by HUD is expected once awards are announced. The initiative reflects a significant federal investment aimed at creating holistic, evidence-based approaches to effectively addressing the multifaceted needs of homeless youth. Interested parties can contact HUD directly for more information or assistance with the application process.

1. NOFO Highlights
This NOFO will provide two separate sources of funding under two different programs-
- YHSI grants (CFDA number 14.277)
- YHDP (CFDA number 14.276)
Both sets of funds were appropriated by Congress “to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and under ... can dramatically reduce youth homelessness.” This includes a variety of approaches, eligible activities, and projects that address not only housing needs, but also needs for services related to chronic physical health or mental health conditions, substance use disorders, domestic violence or childhood abuse and barriers to employment.
Under the YHSI grants, HUD will make awards to selected communities to support them in establishing and implementing a response system for youth homelessness or for improving their existing response system. HUD will select approximately 50 communities for YHSI grants.
