Youth Homelessness NOFO for FY2024 and FY2025

The Youth Homelessness Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), offers competitive grants through two distinct programs aimed at addressing youth homelessness. The Youth Homelessness System Improvement (YHSI) grants focus on helping communities either establish or enhance a coordinated response system for youth homelessness, with approximately 49 communities expected to receive awards under this program. Meanwhile, the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) supports the implementation of housing and supportive service projects in selected communities, with HUD planning to fund between 26 and 50 communities, prioritizing those with significant rural populations across up to sixteen locations. Selected communities will also benefit from technical assistance to aid in the effective execution and enhancement of their funded projects. Participation in HUD-led evaluation activities is a required component post-award. The solicitation was posted on June 10, 2026, with a submission deadline of August 10, 2026. For inquiries, contact can be made via the Department of Housing and Urban Development's designated email and phone number. This NOFO represents a critical federal effort to strengthen local systems and interventions aimed at reducing youth homelessness nationwide.
