In this email: Community Conversations, Training & Reminders

YHDP Virtual Community Conversations!

The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is an initiative designed to reduce the number of youth (between the ages of 16 and 24) experiencing homelessness. In October 2022, Missouri Balance of State was awarded $6,857,269 by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop and implement a community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness.

The Coordinated Community Plan (CCP) focuses on the needs of youth, service providers, and housing interventions that will be funded by the YHDP to address youth housing instability. Our team is seeking to engage youth with lived expertise, interested organizations, service providers, and advocates to inform the CCP. We want to know what support young people need, the issues that youth face, and the resources to get safe and stable housing.

Join us for our virtual Community Conversations to learn about about opportunities with YHDP and the COC!

Point in Time Count

The Point in Time Count is approaching fast! A few reminders for those going out on the night of the Count:

Your safety is most important. Ensure you travel in teams, bring adequate lighting, and other know where you are.
If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, stay home to prevent the spread of disease
Be mindful of the weather. The Count is performed on in the coldest time of the year to find those who may have the largest lack of resources. Again, your safety is most important.
Have contact information for your count lead as needed!
