🚨 Will you help us end youth homelessness in Rhode Island? 🚨

ICYMI: After four years of applying for federal funding to end Youth Homelessness in Rhode Island, in September of 2021 our state was awarded $3.5M through the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP).

Now, the Coalition is embarking on the first phase of implementing the YHDP program: listening to you!

All month the Coalition in conjunction with the RI-CoC and Youth Action Board will be hosting discussion forums that will guide how will invest our award to address homelessness among youth and young adults.
