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
