The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (CFDA 14.276), awarded a $797,397 project grant to the County of Los Angeles to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness. The grant funding, which runs from November 1, 2024 to April 30, 2027, can be used for a variety of activities, including acquisition and rehabilitation of housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and homeless management information system implementation. The primary objectives of the demonstration program are to build national momentum, promote equity, highlight youth leadership, evaluate the coordinated community approach, expand capacity, evaluate performance measures, and establish a framework for federal program and technical assistance collaboration. The award seeks to significantly decrease youth homelessness, increase participant income, education, health, and social/emotional well-being, and foster new or improved partnerships between youth-serving organizations in the community.
