Synopsis

The Primary Prevention Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program provides funding to identify and implement strategies and services for youth and young adults between ages 12 and 26 in order to prevent homelessness, including strategies designed to serve youth and young adult populations with a high likelihood of experiencing homelessness, housing instability, particularly among youth at risk of human trafficking; struggling with substance abuse or mental health concerns; or transitioning out of foster care, the juvenile justice system, or a residential behavioral health system. Primary prevention efforts should focus on reasons youth become homeless, such as a lack of affordable housing, poverty, and family dynamics. Grant recipients must also work with youth who have experienced homelessness, are self-sufficient, and can assist with helping design and implement their projects. This includes establishing local youth advisory boards. In addition, grant recipients awarded under this funding opportunity must participate in a federally sponsored evaluation.
