HUD announces $193 million in funding to address Youth Homelessness
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is excited to announce the publication of the Youth Homelessness NOFO, CPD-2600-DC-0035, through which HUD offers $193,000,000 to help communities develop systems and projects to dramatically reduce youth homelessness. Application resources will be available soon on the HUD website.
Purpose
The Youth Homelessness NOFO combines funding from FY2024 and FY2025 for both the Youth Homelessness Systems Improvement (YHSI) grants and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). Combining these two funding streams into one NOFO allows communities to consider how to improve their current youth homelessness response system and expand the capacity through transitional housing and supportive service only projects. Unlike previous YHDP competitions, eligible applicants for the Youth Homelessness NOFO include both CoC and non-CoC organizations, including faith-based organizations, non-profit organizations, and Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs).
Available Amounts:
A total of $193,000,000 is available under this NOFO, including approximately $49 million in YHSI funds and $144 million in YHDP funding.

Youth Homelessness NOFO applications will be submitted via e-snaps.
