Youth Homelessness in California: What Impact has the Five-Percent Set-Aside in HEAP had so Far?

May 23, 2019
As part of last year’s state budget, the California State Legislature created the Homeless Emergency Aid Program (HEAP) to address homelessness. Of the $500 million budgeted for HEAP, at least five percent ($25 million) was required to be directed to address youth homelessness. This webinar marked the release of a report on how HEAP funds for homeless youth have been spent. Findings from the report were drawn from a statewide survey of Continuums of Care (CoCs) and in-depth interviews with representatives from CoCs across the state and the 11 large cities that received HEAP funds.
