Washington, D.C. - The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is making $193 million in funding available to communities nationwide to prevent and address youth homelessness.

"Every American should grow up in a safe and loving home. HUD is pleased to announce this funding opportunity as we focus on partnering with communities to provide stability, resources, and healing to vulnerable youth. The Trump administration is committed to supporting youth with housing resources to help them reunite with family or gain independence to pursue the American Dream," said Secretary Turner.

This funding will be utilized for developing and implementing projects to increase the efficiency of youth homelessness response systems as well as creating Transitional Housing and Supportive Services projects focused on providing housing with wraparound services to help youth become self-sufficient. Combining these two funding opportunities into one Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) emphasizes the comprehensive approach that is needed to dramatically reduce youth homelessness.

The Trump administration has demonstrated extraordinary collaboration to uplift America's youth. First Lady Melania Trump recently announced 10 Achievements Transforming Outcomes for Foster Youth since the signing of the Executive Order on Fostering the Future for American Children and Families. This Spring, Secretary Turner hosted roundtable conversations to hear from youth in Denver, Pittsburgh, and San Antonio about their experience with HUD's Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) program and how HUD can better coordinate with our partners across America to prevent homelessness among foster youth transitioning to adulthood. Today's announcement continues to build on HUD's ongoing commitment to help vulnerable youth lead successful lives.

This funding opportunity is open to state and local governments; Federally-recognized Native American Tribal governments and Native American Tribal Organizations; and non-profit organizations. Faith-based organizations are encouraged to apply. Applications for this funding opportunity are due on August 10, 2026.
