YHDP will support 10 communities, at least 4 of which will be rural, in the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness, and share that experience communities around the country. YHDP targets unaccompanied youth, including parenting youth, where no member of the household is older than 24, and will include 3 components: 1) Site selection 2) Project application and 3)Community plan development.
The basis for the request is that this new demonstration program, the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP), was unexpectedly included in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, the normal process will likely prevent or disrupt collection, and the risk of public harm if the normal PRA procedures are followed. Development of this complex program took time, and the normal PRA procedures can take approximately 120 days. While it is gratifying to have Congress focus on helping to end youth homelessness, this was not a program that HUD requested for Fiscal Year 2016 and it was not in either the House or Senate 2016 appropriations bills for HUD
