| \| \\| **TCHC WAS AWARDED $3,159,750 BY HUD AS A PART OF THE YOUTH HOMELESSNESS DEMONSTRATION PROJECT!** Good Afternoon: All of that hard work paid off. We Got It! See the HUD YHDP Press release below. HUD has already started working with ECHO on the planning component of this grant. I will be sending out an email to our general membership soon to see who would like to participate in that planning process. If you are interested participating, or can refer a youth participant who might be interested in serving on the Youth Advisory Board, please email or text Dr. Ann Gowdy.

TCHC is redistributing the information for awareness.* \\| \\| --- \\| \| \| --- \| \| \\| \\| \\| --- \\| \| \| --- \| \| \\| On October 24, 2022, [Secretary Fudge announced the award](https://hudexchange.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=87d7c8afc03ba69ee70d865b9&id=3ce8f609f6&e=1b844cba07) of $83.7 million to 17 communities through the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). This funding will help the awarded communities build systems to end youth homelessness through a wide range of housing programs including rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and host homes. YHDP will also support youth-centered services, housing supports, youth-focused performance measurement and coordinated entry systems. HUD continues to work closely with youth to develop and improve YHDP, relying upon recommendations provided directly from young people who have experienced homelessness. Additionally, HUD partnered with youth with lived experience to assess the applications that were submitted for funding consideration. Their assessment helped HUD ensure that applicants understood the needs and preferences of the young people they will serve. The Department also worked closely with its federal partners to help develop the program and review applications, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness. These 17 communities will join the 77 communities that were previously awarded YHDP designations across the country, a total investment of over $350 million in new grants to help youth experiencing or at-risk of homelessness. These 2-year grants are generally renewable annually under the Continuum of Care program, which represents an ongoing commitment to serving youth in need.
