YHDP RFP for Youth Homelessness due May 28

Metro Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) is excited to announce the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Project (YHDP) Funding, as part of a national initiative by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This funding opportunity aims to encourage creative and effective solutions to prevent and end youth homelessness in the Metro Denver region.

Since receiving $2.58 million in funding last September, our efforts, led by the Young Adult Leadership Committee (YALC), have been focused on ensuring that the mission and vision for these projects authentically represent the needs and aspirations of young people affected by homelessness. Our goal is clear: to build a brighter future where all youth thrive, supported by values of empathy, justice, and harmony.

We are looking for applicants who are deeply committed to youth empowerment, utilizing lived experiences to inform their practices, and eager to collaborate with the YALC and other partner organizations. This is not just a funding opportunity, it's a chance to be part of sustainable solutions and meaningful community engagement in ending youth homelessness. 

How to Apply: Detailed instructions and criteria for submissions can be found in the full RFP document here. Join us in this effort to improve the system for young people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in our community!
