Application Details

Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov (not through e-snaps).
The FY 2021 YHDP Application is for your community's participation in the initiative only. Project funding applications will only be submitted by communities selected to participate.
The FY 2021 YHDP Application must be submitted by a community's Continuum of Care (CoC) Collaborative Applicant but should be co-developed with a broad array of community partners, including a youth action board, a state or local child welfare agency, youth homelessness housing, and service providers, local school districts, community health organizations, workforce development organizations, law enforcement, judges, corrections, and more.
Youth leadership is a critical component of the YHDP. Communities are required to establish a Youth Action Board to guide the Coordinated Community Plan and YHDP project design development.
