The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Project, (YHDP), is a two-year renewable demonstration grant awarded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to select communities nation-wide. Broadly, YHDP funds are used to specifically support youth and young adults through the age of 24. 

 

In October of 2022, HUD announced that the Sacramento Continuum of Care (CoC) received $6.5 million to build a region-wide plan and fund innovative programs designed to end youth homelessness. From the start, our community sought to include and center young people with lived experience and expertise. The Sacramento Youth Action Board (YAB), a youth-led committee of the Sacramento Continuum of Care (CoC) Board, facilitated a series of community listening sessions to collaborate on a plan and identify gaps in youth homelessness programming. YAB members, adult advocates, education partners, and TAY service providers joined forces and held a series of Planning Team meetings from January to April 2023. These meetings ultimately resulted in the development of the YHDP Coordinated Community Plan (CCP).
