Determining Homeless Status of Youth for HUD Programs
Wednesday, October 28, 2:00 - 3:30 PM EST
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently released guidance to assist intake workers in determining and documenting homeless status for youth using the definition of homelessness found in HUD's Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and Continuum of Care (CoC) Programs to ensure youth are not being turned away from the housing and services they need in error.
HUD-funded programs are an essential component of a coordinated and comprehensive community response to ending youth homelessness. As outlined in our recently released vision for a coordinated and comprehensive community response, HUD's homeless assistance resources should be a part of the array of services and housing options for youth. HUD's guidance supports the recently launched one-stop spot for youth and those that serve youth experiencing homelessness through HUD programs, to find housing with connections to resources, publications, and relevant links to other agencies and organizations.
Join our webinar for an overview of the guidance and to answer specific questions you may have related to determining homeless status for youth in HUD programs and associated requirements for documentation. We will be joined by staff from HUD as well as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Registration is required to attend this webinar. Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email with a URL link and audio instructions (computer or dial-in) for accessing the webinar during the scheduled time.
