Description
The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) addresses youth and young adult homelessness in Idaho. Idaho Housing and Finance Association (IHFA) administers the program locally, bringing together community planning and funding for youth service providers. IHFA is working with stakeholders to develop a Coordinated Community Plan that outlines the current state of youth homelessness and precedes the distribution of program funds.
YHDP sits within a broader homelessness-assistance funding structure supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). IHFA receives the majority of homelessness-assistance funds awarded to Idaho and administers and oversees these programs locally. YHDP’s intended sub-grant recipients are youth service providers working to address homelessness among young people.
