Please join John Burton Advocates for Youth for a webinar marking the release of a new report highlighting how targeted state investments have reduced youth homelessness in California by 24% between 2019 and 2024.
The report provides a statewide analysis of local homelessness actions plans and spotlights programs across the state working to address youth homelessness with funding from the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP). HHAP has a “youth set-aside,” requiring that jurisdictions direct at least 10% of their HHAP allocation toward addressing youth homelessness.
Webinar participants will learn in-depth about how HHAP funding was instrumental in building up a robust continuum of youth service providers within local homeless response systems, and the impact that reduced or eliminated HHAP funding would have on the youth services continuum statewide.
