The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced the 2026 Continuum of Care Competition and Youth Homelessness Demonstration Grants Program.
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program strengthens community-wide efforts to end homelessness by funding nonprofits, state and local governments, Tribes, and Tribally Designated Housing Entities. Its goals include rapid rehousing of people experiencing homelessness and supporting long-term self-sufficiency for individuals and families.
The Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) focuses specifically on youth ages 24 and under who are experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth. It supports communities in creating coordinated strategies to prevent and end youth homelessness and in sharing effective practices nationally.
