Agenda: Public hearing to discuss and consider zoning code Text Amendments to Chapter 170-Section T, Chapter 170-Section S, Chapter 170-Section K. Plan Commission Chair Jan Cuccia called the Public Hearing for zoning code Text Amendments to Chapter 170-Section T, Chapter 170-Section S, and Chapter 170-Section K to order at 6:30 p.m. After opening comments, she entered into the public record written testimony received via email office from Jane Dreis of 441 Red Brick Road opposing the amendment for Chapter 170-Section S and from Lorrie Meade of 439 Brick Circle opposing the amendment for Chapter 170-Section S. Lorrie written testimony included 13 pages of email correspondence and an petition dated February 28, 2022 signed by twenty individuals opposing the Chapter 170-Section S amendment; the only legible names on the petition were Lorrie Meade, Sonja McGill, Gerald Barriault, Erlene Barriault, Susan Holt, and Kenneth Rau. Both written testimonies have been entered into the record. Rob Jones then gave an overview of the proposed Zoning Code text amendments. The amendment to 170-K is being proposed due to a petition from EW Homes for adding two uses in a commercial district. If approved, new uses of adult living and learning facilities and condo garages would be added. There is also an amendment to the PUD process providing for Plan Commission recommendation to the Town Board on a Final PUD Plan. The amendment to Section T Antennas would process for Class 2 colocations into compliance with Wisconsin State Statutes. The amendment to Section S Signs amends the types of signs excepted from permitting and would allow a small sign designating a private driveway to be placed in the public right-of-way. Jan Cuccia called for public comment. Jane Dreis of 441 Red Brick Road spoke against the proposed amendment to Section S Signs. Her written testimony was previously entered into the record. She feels allowing these signs on the same post as fire numbers or within the right-of-way would be distracting to EMS workers when trying to find an address.

Discuss and consider Exception to Design Standards for: Applicants: Ryan & Sara Armbruster Address: 288 S Croix Ridge Drive PID: 040-1320-00-009 Request: Exception to Design Standards to relocate the driveway from its shown location on the Final Plat Rob Jones began by explaining that the applicant is requesting permission to install a driveway for a new home in a location other than the area designated on the approved plat. The subject property is Lot 9 on Croix Ridge Drive in Cove Ridge. Town ordinances require that all platted lots show the driveway location at the time of plat review. The location the applicant is proposing meets all Town ordinances location. Jon Sonnentag spoke on behalf of the applicant. He stated that the topography of the lot and the location of the garage makes the platted driveway location unpracticable and would make for a very hard turn. The applicant, Ryan Armbruster, also spoke to the need of relocating the driveway. Members of the Plan Commission spoke of the site review held and indicated they did not see any issues with the proposed location. Discussion held. Ray Knapp moved that the Plan Commission, having considered the criteria for granting exception to design standards, finds that the driveway location shown on the Site Plan, dated January 27, 2022, for Ryan and Sara Armbruster conforms with all other applicable requirements in chapters 125 and 135 and therefore recommends to the Town Board approval of the Exception to Design Standards for the installation of the driveway in the area shown contingent upon issuance of a driveway permit from the Town Building Inspector. Dean Albert seconded. Motion carried. Town Chair Ray Knapp welcomed Ryan Armbruster to the Town of Troy. 4.!Discuss and consider Zoning Text amendments The Commission discussed each section separately: Section T Antennas Rob Jones explained that the process for amending this section began with a mobile service provider . Staff agreed, and the proposed amendment was drafted. Discussion Held. Ray Knapp moved that the Plan Commission, having reviewed all proposed amendments to Chapter 170-Section T Antennas, Mobile Service Facilities and Mobile Service Support Structures and having heard the testimony provided during the March 10, 2022 public hearing, finds that the drafted text revisions are in keeping with the purpose of the section and therefore recommends adoption of the amendments by the Town Board. David Wolf seconded. Motion carried. Section S Signs Rob Jones read the proposed text amendment under Signs in the Public Right-of-Way. He explained what the text amendment, if approved, would allow. There was lengthy discussion held on the history of one particular sign located in the ROW on the Brick Circle Cul-De-Sac and what effects passing this amendment might have for the town in the future. Further discussion held. Buubdinfou;!U/!pg!Uspz!Sf{pojoh!Tvqqmfnfoubm!Jogp!!):4:8!;!Upxo!pg!Uspz!Sf{pojoh!46!Bdsft!gspn!Fydmvtjwf!Bhsjdvmuvsbm!\[pojoh!Ejtusjdu!up 5 Qbdlfu!Qh/!6: 7/4/3/c Jon Bjorseth moved that the Plan Commission recommend to the Town Board to deny the change to Section S Signs. Joe Radlinger seconded. Discussion. Ray Knapp clarified that the Plan Commission is recommending that the Town install a sign to resolve the issue: Jon Bjorseth stated that the Commission believes the ordinance as written can be followed to find a solution but that is one option. Motion carried. Section K Commercial Districts Rob Jones explained that every district has permitted uses, conditional uses, and accessory uses. He reviewed the zoning map, the LECR overlay district, and the Comprehensive Plan map. He noted a rezone of the subject property does comply with the Comp Plan and Zoning Code maps. He also noted the proposed condo garage project has grown into a proposed commercial park with an adult living and learning facility and both uses require the proposed text amendments to move forward. The uses would be approved through the PUD process; a PUD application has been received for this project and is being processed. If approved, The PUD then becomes its own zoning district in an overlay. PUD rules would be attached to the zoning code. He also reviewed the minor text amendment proposed by the town which would provide for Plan Commission recommendation to the Town Board on a Final PUD Plan. Matt Hieb of ACA gave an overview of the proposal on behalf of the applicant, E.W. Homes done a lot of work since last year on this project and addressing concerns and meeting with staff multiple times. The project proposes two public roads: the north/south road and another cul-de-sac road that internally serves the park. The property is in between the future off ramp and north/south road. They have made extensive efforts to ensure the Condo Garages buildings do not look like mini storage buildings. They are proposing each building has 9 units, with bays 20- and each unit is purchased and is part of an association. They are working with staff on making sure the hours are controlled. It will be a gated, fenced facility with hours of operation. The Adult Living Facility would house adults age 18-55 years old with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities who want to live independent from their family or guardians. If approved as proposed, there would be 24 residents per building with 2-3 staff on site. Residents would live in pods with a group of 4 with their own rooms sharing a kitchenette area. They have nothing planned for the third potential building site and are leaving their options open. Matt Hieb also provided a status update on the approval process with the City of River Falls and the State. The DOT does not see any issues with the north/south road. Some soil testing has been done and they are working with the county on their approvals. Discussion held. Joe Radlinger moved that the Plan Commission, having reviewed all proposed amendments to Chapter 170-Section K Commercial Districts: General Standards for All Categories of Commercial District and having heard the testimony provided during the March 10, 2022 public hearing, finds that the drafted text revisions are in keeping with the purpose of the section and therefore recommends adoption of the amendments by the Town Board. Dean Albert seconded. Motion carried. 5. Discuss and consider Rezone Land Application: Applicant: EW Homes, Inc. PID: Parts of 040-1062-30-000 and 040-1062-60-000 Request: Rezone 35.3 acres from Exclusive Ag to Commercial General and Service Rob Jones explained that the proposed project would develop multiple commercial uses and dedicate new Town roads on a 35.3-acre parcel south of Glover Road. The applicant is requesting to rezone the parcel from AG to COM-GR/S under the modified Farm Plan program described in the LECR. The Buubdinfou;!U/!pg!Uspz!Sf{pojoh!Tvqqmfnfoubm!Jogp!!):4:8!;!Upxo!pg!Uspz!Sf{pojoh!46!Bdsft!gspn!Fydmvtjwf!Bhsjdvmuvsbm!\[pojoh!Ejtusjdu!up rezone would also need to be approved by the County. The applicant may have the CSM ready as soon 6 Qbdlfu!Qh/!71 7/4/3/c as next month and they continue working with Staff on the PUD. The conservation easement is different for commercial projects; LECR conversion for commercial uses would result in an allowance of 12.35- It was noted that Plan Commission members had attended a site review and looked at the property proposed for the rezone. Discussion held. Joe Radlinger moved that the Plan Commission finds that the Farm Plan submitted by E.W. Homes Inc., using the 40/60 plan choice, conforms with all applicable program requirements in Chapter 135 and therefore recommends to the Town Board approval of the Farm Plan with the following contingencies: 1) the Town Chairperson and Clerk/Treasurer are authorized to certify Town approval of the conservation easement document and 2) the conservation easement shall be seconded. Motion carried. Ray Knapp moved that upon hearing from the public, the Plan Commission finds that the identified land is better suited for a non-agricultural use, that the proposal conforms to Town and County land use plans, will not impair any adjacent agricultural uses, and has received a recommendation for approval of a Town of Troy Farm Plan. Therefore, the Plan Commission recommends to the Town Board approval of the requested change to the Official Zoning Map as shown as E.W. Homes Inc. Rezone map dated December 28, 2021 with the following contingencies: 1) the Town Board approve the project Farm Plan; 2) the Town Board approve the Chapter 170-K text amendment allowing for the uses in the COM-GR/S district; and 3) the map and text changes are acknowledged by St. Croix County. Joe Radlinger seconded. Motion carried. 5. Correspondence Plan Commission packets contained correspondence on a Riverway project and a letter from the County regarding the E.W. Homes proposal. Ray Knapp announced that Paul Mahler was resigning from the Plan Commission; the Commission recognized his long years of excellent service to the Town. Ray Knapp will be appointing a replacement at the next Town Board meeting. Ray Knapp also reported that he has met with a representative from Troy Burne to discuss the sale of the golf course and what that will mean for homeowners. He also reported that he, along with Supervisors Doug Rowen and Lowell nd Enerson are meeting with the DOT on March 22 to discuss the Glover Road/Highway 35 intersection safety and funding for the proposed north/south road. 6.

It appears that the County would have the ability to arbitrarily levy a library tax in support of a specific library if the local municipalities did not file for a library tax exemption. This agreement creates that scenario. This is for the benefit of the Hudson Area Joint Library. St. Croix County is merely the vehicle to levy the additional tax for the organization. Qbdlfu!Qh/!291 :/3 Resolution No. RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH MEMBERS OF HUDSON AREA JOINT LIBRARY 1 WHEREAS, the Hudson Area Joint Library members consist of the municipalities of the 2 City of Hudson, the Village of North Hudson, the Town of Hudson and the Town of St. Joseph; 3 and 4 5 WHEREAS, Wis. Stat. § 66.0301 authorizes municipalities to enter various 6 intergovernmental agreements; and 7 8 WHEREAS, Pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 43.64(1), a county may levy taxes to provide funds 9 for library services; and 10 11 WHEREAS, Wis. Stat. § 43.64(2)(c) provides that municipalities may apply for and 12 receive an exemption to the library tax if the municipality levies a tax for public library services, 13 less the amount levied for library capital expenditures, and appropriates and spends for a library 14 fund during the year for which the county tax levy is made an amount that is not less the average 15 of the previous three (3) years; and 16 17 WHEREAS, the members of the Hudson Joint Area Library have proposed entering into 18 an agreement with St. Croix County to address the library tax attributable to the Hudson Area 19 Joint Library for 2022; and 20 21 WHEREAS, the proposed agreement requires the County to levy a library tax and 22 distribute an amount based on a specific rate per dollar of equalized value to the Hudson Area 23 Joint Library to be used for library services. 24 25 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the St. Croix County Board of 26 Supervisors that the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Hudson Area Joint Library and 27 St. Croix County for the levying of County library tax is hereby approved. 28 29 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors that 30 County Administrator Ken Witt can sign the Intergovernmental Agreement on behalf of St. 31 Croix County.

Shannon Zimmerman FROM: Eric Mueller, Senior Legislative Attorney DATE: August 9, 2021 SUBJECT: Library agreements and expenditures! You asked that our office provide an opinion with regard to several issues that may be presented by a potential agreement between several municipalities and a county in your district. Briefly stated, under the potential agreement, the county would provide supplemental funding for a joint library currently operated by several municipalities within the county. The source of this supplemental funding would be a uniform tax levy against residents of the county. The particular issues for which our opinion has been requested are, somewhat rephrased, as follows: 1. May a county enter into an agreement under Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (3) with the municipalities of a joint library formed under Wis. Stat. § 43.52 to levy a tax under Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (1) to residents of the municipalities of the joint library for the provision of library services, which would constitute the vast majority of tax funding for the joint library? In other words, there will be not any general levy contributions from the member municipalities of the joint library. The joint library would receive a small amount of additional library tax funding as a result of the rural circulation formula in Wis. Stat. § 43.12. 2. Must the tax and payments described in item 1. be consistent with a county library plan adopted under Wis. Stat. § 43.11? 3. Is the library tax levied in item 1. above, exempt from the levy limits imposed by Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 (2) because it qualifies under Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 (3) (e) 4.? 1. County authority to enter certain agreements Your first question asks whether the county is authorized by Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (3) to enter into an agreement with several of its constituent municipalities to levy a tax under Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (1) on the inhabitants of those municipalities for the purpose of funding a joint library. While I do not believe Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (3) is the sole source of this authority, a county is empowered Buubdinfou;!{jnnfsnbo/mjcsbsjft/gjobm!!):4::!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bqqspwjoh!Bhsffnfou!xjui!Nfncfst!pg!Ivetpo!Bsfb!Kpjou!Mjcsbsz* by the statutes to provide library funding to joint libraries operating within the county and to levy 1 Qbdlfu!Qh/!296 :/3/c a tax for the purpose of providing such funding and to make agreements with its constituent municipalities with regard to these powers. Specifically, Wis. Stat. § 66.0301 provides broad authority by which a county may enter into agreements with its constituent municipalities to exercise powersincluding those related to providing library service within the county. None of the items identified in the question are improper for inclusion in an agreement under Wis. Stat. § 66.0301. As creations of the legislature, counties have only the powers that are granted to them by the 1 legislature. Such grants of power may be express or implied. Your question asks about a particular grant of authority, i.e., a grant of authority to enter into agreements to make certain library-related payments. Section 43.12 (3) of the Wisconsin Statutes provides: A county may enter into an agreement with its participating municipalities or with a public library system to pay no less than the amounts determined under sub. (1) to the public library system for distribution to the public libraries that participate in that system. This provision provides a county with broad authority to enter into an agreement to provide funding. It does not by itself, however, authorize a county, whether or not the municipality subject to the levy agrees, to impose a levy. A county, nevertheless, does have authority to levy a tax for the purpose of funding library services. Section 43.64 (1) of the Wisconsin Statutes provides: The county board of a county expending money for public library service to its inhabitants may levy a tax to provide funds for such service and shall include any amount of tax under this subsection in the amount of taxes determined to be levied under s. 70.62 (1). This provision, however, does not reference any requirement for an agreement. That is, the county board is empowered to exercise its levy authority without reference to any permission 2 granted by a constituent municipality. The statutes, though, provide a mechanism by which a county and its constituent municipalities may bargain regarding the exercise of this levy authority. Section 66.0301 (2) of the Wisconsin Statutes provides a broad authorization of intergovernmental cooperation: 3 \[A\]ny municipality may contract with other municipalities . . . for the receipt or furnishing of services or the joint exercise of any power or duty required or 1 Town of Grant v. Portage County, 2017 WI App 69, ¶ 11, 378 Wis.2d 152, 903 N.W.2d 152. 2 It is unclear whether this is an issue in the instant case, but municipalities have the ability to exempt themselves from this county levy under certain circumstances. See Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (2). This, similarly, is a power that is Buubdinfou;!{jnnfsnbo/mjcsbsjft/gjobm!!):4::!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bqqspwjoh!Bhsffnfou!xjui!Nfncfst!pg!Ivetpo!Bsfb!Kpjou!Mjcsbsz* granted the municipality without reference to any need to obtain agreement from a potentially affected county. 3 in this particular statute includes counties. See Wis. Stat. § 66.0301 (1) (a). 2 Qbdlfu!Qh/!297 :/3/c authorized by law. If municipal . . . parties to a contract have varying powers or duties under the law, each may act under the contract to the extent of its lawful powers and duties. In the question presented, the county is agreeing with a constituent municipality regarding the exercise of powers under Wis. Stat §§ 43.12 (3) and 43.64 (2) in exchange for the constituent municipalities providing library service for all or a portion of the county. Each of the powers and duties affected by the described agreement are powers and duties authorized by law and none appear to exceed the bounds provided by the legislature. 2. County library plan For your second question, you ask whether county payments under Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (6) that are provided to public libraries rather than to public library systems must For several reasons it appears that the best reading of this e as provided in a plan under Wis. Stat. § 42.11, but only if such a plan has been prepared and the plan provides direction regarding such payments. 4 The statutes allow a county to create a county library planning committee (committee). Though, the statutes do not provide any mandatory duties, except some contingent ones, for a committee, it appears the chief purpose of a committee in most cases is to plan for the organization or 5 revision of a county library system. While the focus of such a plan does not appear to be funding-related, it likely involves financial considerations. Indeed, one aspect of such a plan the provision of services to residents of municipalities not maintaining a public libraryis 6 consideration of funding. It 7 appears the activities of a committee are generally discrete, not ongoing. Notwithstanding the important duties authorized for a committee, the creation of a committee is 8 plainly optional: Any county board may appoint a count It is 9 also clear that the statutes do not specify any consequence for failing to have such a committee. In fact, while the statutes provide what a committee may do, they do not prohibit a county board from performing similar duties itself. Indeed, the statutes provide to counties broad authority to provide library services under Wis. Stat. § 43.57. Presumably, this power includes the power to plan for the current and future provision of library service to county residents. 4 Wis. Stat. § 43.11 (1). 5 Wis. Stat. § 43.11 (3) (a). 6 Wis. Stat. § 43.11 (3) (c). A plan must provide for a certain standard of service to residents of the county that reside in municipalities without a public library, specify how much providing such service will cost, and specify the method of paying for this service. 7 See Wis. Stat. § . . . Buubdinfou;!{jnnfsnbo/mjcsbsjft/gjobm!!):4::!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bqqspwjoh!Bhsffnfou!xjui!Nfncfst!pg!Ivetpo!Bsfb!Kpjou!Mjcsbsz* 8 Wis. Stat. § 43.11 (1). 9 Compare, e.g., the consequences of failing to adopt a comprehensive plan in Wis. Stat. § 66.1001 (3) and (3m). 3 Qbdlfu!Qh/!298 :/3/c Given the preceding, a reading under which Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (6) acts as a prohibition on county expenditures for public libraries except as permitted by a committee plan seems an unlikely one. First, many counties may not have ever had a committee and others may have a plan created by a committee, but a plan without actionable guidance on how to spend the amount of money a county has available for library aid. If the legislature had intended to prohibit counties in this situation from providing aid to non-system libraries, one would expect it have chosen a less oblique way of doing so. To the contrary, outside of Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (6), nothing in Wis. Stat. ch. 43 so much as suggests such an intent. Second, as explained above, the statutes do not provide the guidance one would expect were committees intended to provide ongoing oversight of a potentially broad swath of county library spending-system libraries almost certainly varies from year to year, as well as the needs of the various libraries receiving the aid. Besides having no specific power to provide standards that a county could use to determine the distribution of aids, a committee has no obvious ongoing authority once it provides its final report. Finally, and most importantly, a reading more consistent with the apparent intent of Wis. Stat. §§ 43.11 and 43.12 is available. Section 43.12 (6) of the Wisconsin Statutes can be read to require a county to distribute non- exists and provides usable guidance. Conversely, if a plan does not exist, the plan cannot and does not provide any direction for the payments. Likewise, if a plan does exist, but does not provide adequate guidance, the plan cannot and does not provide any direction for the payments. In either case, the plain language of Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (6) does not express an intent to prohibit a county from distributing aid in any legal manner it sees fit. 3. Levy limit exception for library payments Your final question is whether a library tax levied under Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (1) is exempt from the property tax levy increase limit under Wis. Stat. § 66.0602. To slightly rephrase the question, I understand you to be asking whether expenditures of money collected under a Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (1) levy are excepted from the levy limit. In my opinion, to the extent that library tax revenues under Wis. Stat. § 43.64 (1) are expended for purposes that qualify under the exception in Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 (3) (e) 4., the revenues are excepted from the levy limit. The language of the exception is quite straight-forward: The limit otherwise applicable under this section does not apply to . . . \[t\]he amount that a county levies in that year to make payments to public libraries under s. 43.12. The language includes three requirements for the exception to apply: 1) there must be a payment, Buubdinfou;!{jnnfsnbo/mjcsbsjft/gjobm!!):4::!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bqqspwjoh!Bhsffnfou!xjui!Nfncfst!pg!Ivetpo!Bsfb!Kpjou!Mjcsbsz* 2) the payment must be to a public library, and 3) the payment must be made under Wis. Stat. § 4 Qbdlfu!Qh/!299 :/3/c ore, we look to the ordinary dictionary 10 definition. Merriam-Webster defines the term something that is paid.The most relevant ay are in return for goods o The key concepts are the transfer of money and, perhaps, the existence of a service rendered or to be rendered. Section 43.12 of the Wisconsin Statutes provides several provisions that qualify as payments. Clearly, as evinced by the use of the word payments in the provision, payments by a county to libraries in adjacent counties under Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (1) are covered. No less clearly, in my opinion, are payments made under Wis. Stat. § 43.12 (3) and (6), despite using alternate constructions: ter into an agreement . . . t case, the county is providing money to entities other than itself for services that the county has found of some benefit. Furthermore, each of these subsections provides for payments to public libraries, whether or not through the medium of a public library system. Additionally, though titles are not considered law, it is notable that the title of Wis. Stat. § ty payment for library services.This may serve as an additional indication that the levy limit exception under Wis. Stat. § 66.0602 (3) (e) was intended to cover all payments made by counties under the section. Buubdinfou;!{jnnfsnbo/mjcsbsjft/gjobm!!):4::!;!Sftpmvujpo!Bqqspwjoh!Bhsffnfou!xjui!Nfncfst!pg!Ivetpo!Bsfb!Kpjou!Mjcsbsz* 10 See Xcel Energy Services Inc.. v. Labor and Industry Review Commission, 2013 WI 64, ¶ 30, 349 Wis.2d 234. 5 Qbdlfu!Qh/!29: :/3/d October 19, 2021 Dear Mr. Reeves, We have reviewed the intergovernmentalagreement regarding the fundingof the Hudson Joint Library. Your request forour reviewwasmade to ensure that you are in fullcompliance with all statutory requirements.While ouragency is not authorized to address orinterpret all statutes so we cannot offer thatlevel of assistance,we can provide insightasit pertainsto Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin Statutes.We have also included some informal comments thatmay assist you in any further development of thisagreement. The second itemin the section of the intergovernmentalagreement,pertaining to agreements of the Parties, raises a compliance concern.Acontractualagreement cannot specify that the municipalities cannot exempt, as themunicipalities are providedauthority per statute. Ratherthan stating that the municipalities shall not be exempt, perhaps the item could read that the municipalities agree not to submit a request for exemption from the librarytax to be levied by the county in 2021, and that the municipalitiesalso agree to rescindanyprior application for exemption from the county library taxfor 2021 under Wis.Stat. sec. 43.64(2)(c). Thiswould resolve that conflict because itmaintainsmunicipal authority to request the exemption as provided in statute. The sixth item of that same section pertains to indemnification. DPI cannot commenton the validity of thisitem,asitis of a legal contractual nature and does notpertain to publiclibraries. You should seek your own legalcounsel onthis matter. If you move forwardwith this agreement, you will need to update yourcounty plan of library service, particularly the section titled IV. CurrentFunding of LibraryServices to County Residents. The most recent county plan we have on file expired in 2018,but we assume thatthis section is also in anycurrent plan. Thiswill require the appointment ofa countylibrary planning committee, and the division must be notifiedimmediately upon appointment of the committee per s. 43.11(1). The plan is subject to a public hearing, to which alllibrariesin the countymust be invited. The plan must then be approved by the county board. This concludes our commentson compliance pertaining to public libraries under Chapter 43. The following are considerations as you choose yourpath forward: Because the funding of the Hudson Area Librarywillchange, the joint libraryagreement mayalso require revision. Such a revision may require reconsideration of ownershipand maintenance of the propertyand assets, and modification of the procedure for the distribution of a jointlibrary's assetsand liabilities if the joint library is dissolved.Any revised jointlibraryagreementmust be submitted to the division aswell. Mr. Witt expressedinterest in knowingwhether or not the funds taxed under thisagreement are subject to the county’slevy limit and stated that DOR suggested we may be able to provide an PO Box 7841, Madison, WI 53707-7841 125 South Webster Street, Madison, WI 53703 (608) 266-3390 (800) 441-4563 toll free dpi.wi.gov Qbdlfu!Qh/!2:1 :/3/d Page2 answer. Wis. Stat. sec. 66.0602(3)(e)4 grants an exception for the amount a county levies in a particular year to make payments to public libraries under s. 43.12, but such exception is not provided for s. 43. 64 payments, which concurs with what DOA indicated in their email to you. Not knowing the details of the county’s budgeting process, financials, or appropriations, we cannot determine the funding amount that would be excepted from the levy limit. While s. 43.12 requires that each county (with certain specifications) pay each public library within the county for the cost of lending materials to county residents who live in municipalities that do not maintain a public library, the statute indicates that those payments are to be “of not less than the minimum amount calculated” using the formula provided. This implies that, while the calculation should be based on the services to county residents without libraries, the county can choose to pay more than the minimum under s. 43.12. Most counties in Wisconsin make these payments to the libraries within their borders at well over the minimum calculated amount, some at over 100% of the reimbursement rate. We strongly suggest that you consult your own counsel to provide guidance on what portion of the funding provided in the proposed intergovernmental agreement would qualify as s. 43.12 payments and would fall outside the levy limit, and what would not. Ifyou require additional assistance, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your inquiry, and we wish you the best in your efforts to improve library funding in St. Croix County.

Also as discussed, there is a levy limit exception for 43.12 but not for 43.64. I spoke with the division's deputy administrator and she agrees with our conclusion that DPI would oversee the changes you're looking to implement, not DOR.

Map of counties.The yellow highlighted counties are members of the Rural North Homeless Coalitionand turquoise highlighted countiesare members of the West Central Homeless Coalition. Description of coalition.Following is a brief description of each. The mission of the Rural North (RN) Homeless Coalitionis to collaborate as a group dedicated to end homelessness inourrural communitiesby advocating and maximizing resources and providing supportive services. RN’s vision is to provide access to services and affordable housing to every member of our community.Counties served by the RN Coalition are Burnett, Clark, Rusk, Sawyer, Taylor,and Washburn.Membershipon the coalition includethe following representatives from agenciesandorganizations dedicated to addressing issues facing the homeless in the targeted counties: Amanda Newberry, Director of Taylor CountySupportiveHousing, a transitional housing shelter; Jessica Medgett with the Taylor County Housing Authority; Angela Friend with the Center for Veteran’s Issues; 1 Qbdlfu!Qh/!2:8 :/4/b Anna Kaufffman, Anna Ringstad, Michelle Wilkans, Lisa Walker and Tammy Magdzas representing different programs with Indianhead Community Action Agency, providing multiple programs and services to promote healthy families, sustainable communities and stronglocal businesses; Becca Golden with Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program (NWCEP) administering federal, state, and private foundation funded workforce development programs, Brandy Carlsen with Embrace Services, Inc., the domestic violence shelter for DV/SA survivors in Rusk, Washburn, and Barron Counties;Casey Levrich representing the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Connie Hanson, Director of Rusk County Lighthouse Homeless Shelter; Curt Spicer, Duana Bremer, Sandy Clark, Stacey Feidt, Stephena Smith, and Sue Skinner all with Salvation Army Service Extension representing multiple counties in the RN Coalition; and Trent Thibodeau, with MHS Health Wisconsin, a managed care company with a commitment to improving the health of the community one individual at a time through affordable and reliable healthcare plans. The Rural North Coalition is working on the Coordinated Community Plan under the auspices of the Salvation Army, which is the fiscal agent for the YHDP. The vision of the West Central (WC) Homeless Coalition is that homelessness should be prevented whenever possible, and when it cannot, homelessness should be rare, brief, and non-recurring. To accomplish this vision the mission is to end homelessness by providing homelessness prevention, intervention, and supportive services for persons and families in our region. The WC Coalition is comprised of representatives from the following agencies and organizations: Lori Zahrbock, the Executive Director of Benjamin’s House Emergency Shelter; Naomi Cummings and Jamie Gibson, Bridge to Hope DV/SA shelter serving Dunn and Pepin Counties; Kevin Burch and Julienne Linberg with Catholic Charities of LaCrosse; Angela Friend with the Center for Veterans Issues; Danica Nichols and Cheri Moats with Community Referral Agency, the DV/SA shelter serving Burnett, Polk, and Barron Counties; Tammy July-Levra with Dunn County Housing Authority; Michelle Zagozen, the Homeless Liaison for the Durand-Arkansaw School District; Ginny Ormbsy with Northwoods Homeless shelters; Bob Rohret with St. Croix County Health & Human Services; Duana Bremer and Stacy Nordin with Salvation Army Service Extension; Heidi Hooten and Padraig Gallagher with Stepping Stones of Dunn County, a DV/SA shelter; Amy Berg, with Turningpoint for Victims of Domestic and Sexual Violence serving Pierce and St. Croix Counties; Casey Levrich with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Karla Peterson representing Veterans Outreach & Recovery Program; and Lori Newton, Lori Newton, and Erica all with West Community Action Programs (West CAP), serving housing and other essential needs for individuals in Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix County Section 8. Representatives from the RN and WC Coalitions are collaborating in developing the coordinated community plan. Due to the absence of housing options for homeless youth in the two Coalitions, THUG (Truly Humble Under God) Life Ministries, in existence now for nearly 10 years, has 2 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!2:9 :/4/b stepped up to the plate to provide homeless services for Y/YA’s ages 16-24and to address their multiple other needs. Sara Rank, the Director of THUG Life has shared she works with an average of 100 to 110 homeless youth monthlyin the Polk/St Croix County region. Through this organization, she provides multiple housing options including shared apartments, host families, a home residence with bunk rooms, and renting rooms from families in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, THUG provides a variety of other services to youth including backpacks filled with personal essentials/ supplies, funding for groceries, accompanying youth on medical and other appoint- ments, assisting them in getting required ID’s, driver’s licenses, and encouragement and support for Y/YA’s to complete their education and receive further training to become self-sufficient. THUG’s vision is to purchase a central property with tiny houses, and a community center with a central kitchen and showers for youth to enjoy safe and temporary transitional housing. II. Mission and Vision A.B. Missionand Vision Statements. The RN and WC Coalitions are adopting the Wisconsin Balance of State mission and vision, of which the mission is: “With shared responsibility and driven by youth leadership and cross-sector collaboration the Wisconsin Balance of State YHDP Coalition’s mission is to prevent youth homelessness whenever possible and if it is not, ensure that the experience is rare, brief and non-recurring.” C. Community History with Youth Homeless System. While the WC Coalition has had prior experience working with Positive Alternatives, a private non-profit, community-based, multi- service organization serving youth and families in Wisconsin, and specifically in Menomonie, that was many years ago when Positive Alternatives was funded through the Wisconsin Association for Homeless and Runaway Services to provide housing. Because there was no more funding for housing, Positive Alternatives now works with county human services offices to provide other types of services for youth in need of alternate care. The RN Coalition’s experience working with homeless youth has primarily involved working with Crystal Meier, Workforce Resource, Inc., Program Coordinator of Independent Living for Youth Aging Out of Foster care, prioritizing youth aging out of foster care and providing Tenant-Based Rental Assistance vouchers. Given limited involvement in working with and providing services and shelter for homeless youth in both regions, this coordinated community plan has provided an opportunity to address this growing need, as indicated in the data below. D. Statement from the Local YAB. Upon notification of this YHDP project, efforts were made starting in February 2022 to establish a YAB for the RN and WC Coalitions as neither coalition had a functioning YAB. Contact was made with Crystal Meier and Derek Krzykowski, 3 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!2:: :/4/b the Independent Living Program Manager and Specialist serving Workforce Resource’s IL program in Burnett, Washburn, Sawyer, Rusk, Taylor, Polk and Barron Counties and Family & Children’s Center IL program in Clark, St. Croix, Pepin, Pierce, and Dunn Counties. Ms. Meier made several referrals to the programas did Shelby Fader, the CPS/Youth Justice staff in the Department of Children & Families in Polk County. Pastor Diane House, serving ELCA congre- gations in Barron and Polk Counties also suggested two youth, who were formerly homeless, but had since been adopted by a family in Polk County. While there have been tenyouth referred and multiple calls/emails have been made to encourage their participation, the YAB has a consistent group of four to five youth/young adults who are actively participating, with an additional young adult in Taylor County who has a work conflict during the established time the YAB is meeting.Two are young adults enrolled at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and are social work majors with one also having a double major in youth justice in addition to social work. Twoyouth, a brother and sister,are 16 and 17 years old who were homeless, but have since been adopted. Realizing the issues of being young and homeless, this brother and sister duo have begun a non-profit organization themselves which is focused on providing resources to other foster care youth and those experiencing homelessness. A new member, a young adult, single mother, and Native American, joined the YAB in April. After reviewing the BoS established mission and vision statements, youth members of the RN/ WC Coalition YAB provided feedback and approved the BoS YHDP mission and vision and adopted these as the local mission and vision for the RN and WC CCP. In a discussion about the merits/value of the YHDP, members concurred this is a critically needed program, especially for counties in the northwest region where there are extremely limited homeless shelters and opportunities to house homeless youth. All concurred a lack of recognition among the general populace about the issue of youth homelessness. While YAB members are primarily aware of what is occurring within their own county, discussion ensued this is problematic in most of the RN and WC counties, as many are primarily rural with one member commenting the existing housing options even in more heavily populated areas provide for only limited stays. One youth added it is difficult to rent an apartment when one does not have a rental history, or parental figures one can rely on to assist with this issue as landlords are hesitant to rent to individuals without a prior rental history. YAB members also expressed concerns about the lack of any therapy or professional counseling services due to the limited numbers of professional mental health providers throughout the entire region (as shared in the data below examining the ratio of the population to professional therapists in each county). Youth believe a component of the ultimate program model selected needs to include other kinds of counseling services as well, such as peer counseling, financial counseling, job counseling, etc. Two YAB members, who have established a non-profit focused on addressing the needs of foster youth (e.g., basic supplies, enrichment items, and monetary support), shared the difficulty in promoting their non-profit to raise sufficient funds to address the needs of foster care children/youth and young people who are experiencing homelessness. 4 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!311 :/4/b While Child Protective Services is an excellent partner, all YAB members concurred there is a lack of recognition about youth homelessnessand a lack of resources to support youth. Another concern raised was drug use by youngpeople and births to youth in their early teens who are not capable of supportingbabies.Thus, they agreed that AODA counseling resources would be beneficial as would services supporting young parents. III. Statement of Need A. PIT. The RN and WC Coalitions collect PIT data twice a year – the last Wednesday into Thursday in the months of January and July. The purpose of collecting this data is to document an unduplicated count of all individualslocated who are unsheltered and experiencing homelessness. The process both Coalitions use is assigning adesignated Coalition member representing each countytospearhead a street count in the larger communities within the county and to visit common places where homelessunshelteredindividuals may be found (e.g., laundromats, parking lots of larger stores that are open all night or late into the evening, gas stations, libraries,etc.), congregatingor sleeping in their vehicles. For instance, in Rusk County, which is very rural, the count is taken in the two largest population centers, the city of Ladysmith and the Bruce village. In the other RN Coalition counties PIT data is collected in the following population centers: Burnett (Siren, Grantsburg, and Webster); Taylor (Medford and Gilman); Sawyer (Hayward); Clark (Loyal) and in Washburn (Shell Lake and Spooner). PIT data is collected in the following locations in the WC Coalition: Dunn (Menomonie, Boyceville, Colfax, Elk Mound, Wheeler, Connorsville, and Downsville); Pierce (Spring Valley, River Falls, Prescott, Ellsworth, and Plum City); Pepin (Durand, Pepin, Arkansaw); Barron (Rice Lake, Barron, Cumber- land, Cameron, Prairie Farm, Chetek, and Turtle Lake); Polk (Balsam Lake, St. Croix Falls, Amery, Osceola, Clear Lake, Milltown, and Frederic); and in St. Croix (Hudson, New Richmond, Baldwin, Hammond, Woodville, Glenwood City, and Forrest). During July, PIT data is also conducted in area parks, along the river, etc.where individuals may be found camping. Coalition members ofteninvolve a formerly homeless individual who is now being sheltered to accompany them, as this individual generally knows where best to locate other homeless individuals. Point in Time data from 2020 and 2021 for Y/YA’s in RN and WC is in the following tables.

This is true for both years of data. While the research (cited below) indicates there are sizeable numbers of homeless unaccompanied youth, the reality is PIT in RN is not capturing this data. This is the same situation in the following PIT data for the WC Coalition.

There is no PIT data for unaccompanied homeless youth under 18 years of age. The data for unaccompanied homeless young adults 18-24 is also very low compared to the rest of the homeless population. PIT Data Analysis. For both Coalitions, regardless of the age of homeless individuals,Emergency Shelter is by far the most common housing option for households with and without children, for unaccompanied youth less than 18 and for young adults 18-24. In 2020, 87% of households without children in RN were documented as using emergency shelters, 0% using transitional housing, and 13% documented as unsheltered. The percentage of total households without 7 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!314 :/4/b children residing in an emergency shelter was 55% less in 2021 compared to 2020 (15 vs. 27), the percentage was also less at 83% with 17% documented as unsheltered (due to lower documented numbers all around during the PIT count). For RN homeless households with children, in 2020 (with 8 total in these households), 75% were in an emergency shelter, none were counted as residing in transitional housing, and one household with four total people (25%) were unsheltered. The following year, there were two households counted with 5 total people, with all of these residing in emergency shelters and none documented as residing in transitional housing or being unsheltered. The number of homeless unaccompanied youth under age 18 was 4 in 2020 and one individual in 2021, both residing in an emergency shelter. For YA’s 18-24, there were 2 in 2020 and one in 2021, both residing in emergency shelters and one each year who were counted as unsheltered. Concerning gender and ethnicity, the majority of the homeless Y/YA’s were males and white. Given the highly populous WC Coalition, with 346,491 individuals compared to 119,983 for the RN (2.9 times larger) one would assume the PIT homeless count to be much higher in WC. The reality, however, is in 2020 the RN total homeless count of 71 individuals was less than 1.8 the number of WC total homeless at 127. But in 2021, there was a much larger differential with 163 total homeless in WC, more than 6.8 times higher than the 24 total homeless in RN. In the WC Coalition in 2020, 72% of total people without children were residing in emergency shelters while 26% were in transitional housing and 2% who were unsheltered. The numbers/ percentages changed slightly the following year with 69% (70) of total people without children residing in emergency shelters and 31% (31) in transitional housing and none who were unsheltered. For WC households with children in 2020, 68% (40) were in an emergency shelter compared to 25% (15) in transitional housing, and 7% (4) were unsheltered. During the following year, 91% (69) were in an emergency shelter, 9% (7) in transitional housing, and none were found to be unsheltered. Concerning gender and ethnicity, the majority of the homeless Y/YA’s in the WC Coalition were white non-Hispanic/non-Latino females. Given the large geographical area, the numbers for homeless unaccompanied youth < 18 and those 18-24 with or without children are extremely low for both years for both Coalitions. Because the PIT data collection happens in select population centers in these counties, rather than all population centers, and in places where homeless Y/YA’s may be hidden, there may be many other homeless individuals in all categories who are experiencing homelessness. In developing the CCP, it has come to light that THUG Life Ministries, located in Polk County is assisting more than 100 homeless youth on a regular basis, but yet it is hard to know if they are reflected in the PIT data with an assumption being made that they are not reflected in that data In contacting all School Homeless Liaisons, the superintendent of the Lac Courte Oreilles High School in Sawyer County shared 99 homeless Native American youth are part of her school population. These youth are also not represented in the PIT data. Because many of the counties in these Coalitions, especially RN counties are extremely rural, there are undoubtedly much larger numbers of homeless Y/YA’s residing in these counties who are most likely doubling up, couch surfing, or just hidden and not being counted in the PIT data. Thus, the need for more accurate data of Y/YA homelessness and perhaps better systems for connecting with homeless Y/YA’s and/or promoting shelters/housing for these individuals. 8 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!315 :/4/b B. Coordinated Entry. As an integrated crisis response system, the Coordinated Entry system is intended to increase and streamline access to housing and services for Y/YA households experiencing homeless, match appropriate levels of housing and services based on their needs, and prioritize persons with severe service needs for the most intensive interventions. Coalition shelter case managers collect and enter the coordinated entry data for homeless individuals. Exceptions include domestic violence shelters and other housing programs that do not receives federal housing funds. Data from the Coordinated Entry Prioritization Lists (PL) for each Coalition is listed in the following table: CoalitionPL: 2/5/2020 PL: 2/8/2021 PL: 3/15/2022 HH w/children510 2 Rural North Parenting Youth (subset)21 HH w/out children 916 2 Young Adults (subset)02 HH w/children80 39 4 West Parenting Youth (subset) 55 Central HH w/out children 314 177 5 Young Adults (sub-set) 36 14 While the RN Coalition has no youth on the Prioritization List, 11 youth were listed on RN’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). As of March 22, 2022, one additional youth has beenreferred for housing assistance.Households with children increased by50% in the RN Coalition and the opposite was true in WC, with a decrease by 50%. The same is true for households without children in RN with a 56% increase while in WC there was 56% decrease between 2020 and 2021. The CE data and an examination of HMIS data from both Coalitions, which includes data from Chippewa County which isn’t covered under this CCP, confirms the same information -- a severe undercounting and provision of services to homeless unaccompanied youth < 18 years of age, homeless young adults 18-24, and homeless young adults with children, 18-24 years of age. HMIS Emergency Shelter data, 10/1/20 through 10/1/21 for the RN Coalition indicated no data for unaccompanied youth <18, and only 7 unaccompanied youth, 18-24, and for parenting youth, there was only one individual identified. The numbers are similar for HMIS homeless prevention data –one unaccompanied youth <18, 7 unaccompanied youth 18-24, and 8 parenting youth. Exit destinations for RN homeless Y/YA’s is scattered between jail, placement at a psychiatric facility, home ownership or rent w/no subsidy, rental vouchers and/or ongoing subsidies, and/or living permanently with family and friends. HMIS emergency shelter data for the WC Coalition indicates non-existent data for unaccompanied youth <18, 47 unaccompanied youth 18-24 and 20 parenting youth. HMIS homeless prevention data indicates only 2 unaccompanied youth <18, 13 unaccompanied youth 18—24 and only 6 parenting youth 8-24 years of age. Exit destinations for WC homeless Y/YA’s also is spread across numerous housing categories with rental without a subsidy at 23; staying permanently with family member at 18; and living either permanently or temporarily with friends, both at 7. Interestingly, 4 existed to unsuitable and unhabitable housing. 9 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!316 :/4/b As another data point for the RN and WC CCP and based on a recommendation that Coalitions partner with early childhood organizations in the region, contact was made with the Northwest WI Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) programserving parents in Burnett, Washburn, Sawyer, Rusk, Taylor, and Clark Counties. Information gleaned from the latest Program Information Report (PIR) indicates six homeless parents under the age of 25 who have children enrolled in the EHS/HS programs in RN Coalition counties of Burnett, Sawyer, Rusk, and Clark. Staff indicated this is lower than normal due to the fact the EHS/HS programs are currently under-enrolled. The CESA 11 HS/EHS programs serving single parent families in West Central Coalition counties of Polk, Barron, St. Croix, Dunn, and Pierce indicated seven single-parenting and pregnant youth/young adults (up to 25 yrs and under) experiencing homelessness from 9/1/2021 through 8/31/2022; 12 single-parent families during the 2020-2021 school year and 10 single-parent families during the 2019-2020 school year. When queried if any of these parents had accessed either Coalition for housing assistance, low-income housing lists and are EHS/HS staff indicated that they assist families in applying for referring these families to local homeless shelters. They also added homeless families, for the most part, are living with friends or family members because they cannot afford housing on their own. While families are receiving some assistance, this response begs the question if collaboration currently exists between the Coalitions and early childhood programs such as HS/EHS? The research indicates pregnancy and parenthood are common among youth experiencing homelessness and recommends increased collaboration among homeless service providers and providers in other 1 systems, including early childhood, early intervention, education, and welfare. Other recommendations from this research, with implications for homeless models adopted for the RN and WC Coalitions include the need to: 1) address the sexual and reproductive health needs of youth experiencing homelessness by adapting evidence-based pregnancy prevention programs and providing contraception plus prenatal and post-partum care in nontraditional settings (an issue and concern actually raised by YAB members); 2) explore opportunities for family reunification, relationship building, and service engagement with youth experiencing homelessness who are pregnant or parenting; 3) design support programs that recognize the importance of the relationships pregnant and parenting youth have with their partners and co- parents; and 4) assess the risk for homelessness among pregnant and parenting youth and 2 referral of high-risk youth for appropriate services when they are identified. Surveys were sent to every school home liaison in 53 school districts in the 12-county region and to the LCOO BIA schoolin Sawyer County asking staff to indicate the number of homeless Y/YA’s in their respective school district.

Given the high number of unaccompanied youth experiencing homeless- ness with 14 of 54 school responding to the survey, indicates the number of unaccompanied homeless youth could be much higher than PIT, CE, and HMIS data above currently shows for bothcoalitions. Thus, there is aneed for a more effective and comprehensive process in collectingdata about Y/YA homelessness. To determinelocal stakeholders’ (e.g., RN and WC Coalition members, DV shelter staff, school home liaisons, youth justice and CPS staff) perceptions of the scope/breadth of need experi- enced by homeless Y/YA’s, more than 80 surveys were emailed to individuals representing these entities with 35 completed surveys received. In response to a question concerning what they believed were the most common challenges faced by Y/YA in finding more stable housing, the top ten responses were: 1) lack of money (27 of 35 responses), 2) affordable housing (26 responses), 3) lack of transportation (23), 4) mental illness (21), 5) finishing a high school diploma 18), 6) drug addiction (16), 7) Lack of self-confidence and poor decision-making (16 responses each), 8) lack of a credit history (15), 9) Lack of physical safety and lackof required identification (14 responses each), and 10) difficulty in finding a good paying job (receiving 13/35 responses). These challenges can be turned around into opportunities as both coalitions consider the most effective program models to address the issue of Y/YA homelessness. B.

While Burnett and Washburn Counties have a larger segment of the St. Croix Chippewa Tribe, native youth in these counties attend public schools. The next largest ethnicity/race in the RN Coalitionis the Hispanic population with many involved in the agricultural sector in that region of Wisconsin. A defining characteristic of the RN Coalition rurality with 100% of Burnett considered rural with the remaining RN counties ranging from 77% to 92% rural. While Pepin, a very small populous county in the WC Coalition is also 100% rural, four of the other five counties range from 53% to 66% rural with Polk being the exception at 86% rural. Another characteristic is the low population per square mile in all RN Coalition counties varying from 13.2 persons/square mile in Sawyer to 28.7 in Clark, whereas in WC counties, Pepin has the lowest ratio of individuals/ square mile at 32.2 with St. Croix at 116.8. The rural nature and low population density impacts runaway and homeless youth in rural areas with fewer shelter options, fewer ways to access shelters, if they even exist, and fewer services designed specifically for youth experiencing homelessness, forcing young people to go without help or travel long distances to gain support. Thus, rural youth are more likely to be “hidden” in their communities because they often rely on “couch surfing” at friends’ or strangers’ homes, sleeping in vehicles, or staying outdoors. Both Coalitions have confirmed this fact, with the RN Coalition identifying this as a critical issue due to the nature of rurality of the RN Coalition and the need for alternative models to provide housing and shelter to support rural homeless youth. Rural economic conditions also often have a negative impact on the lives of at-risk youth, making it more difficult than their peers in larger, more urban counties to connect with education and employment opportunities. The graduation rates listed above are not necessarily indicative of reality for all youth but instead comprise an aggregate percentage of all youth. In considering economically disadvantaged youth as a separate cohort, the graduation rate is generally considerably lower as are post-graduation plans with fewer economically disadvan- 14 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!321 :/4/b 24 taged youth participating in higher education. Homeless youth fall within this economically disadvantaged cohort of students and often leave school before graduation and are considerably less likely to enroll in higher education. Engagement with mainstream education is fundamental to youth’s ongoing educationaldevelopment and overall wellbeing and is critical to prevent ongoing social and economic exclusion. While each LEA in both Coalitions has a homeless liaison, CCP members concurredwith a need to train these individuals as well as others who interface with homeless youth in all the various educational and employment training resources and opportunities available to assist them in completing a high school diploma and attending further education and training to attain living wage employment. Thus, the need for models/programs and partnering agencies that primarily focus on education and employment opportunities. Poverty is high in both counties, but especially high in RN counties, which impacts families in many negative ways, causing many stressors on families. Homelessness and poverty are inextricably linked. When individuals or families are unable to generate enough income to pay for necessities such as housing, food, childcare, health care, and education, necessities with a high-cost burden sometimes fall to the wayside. This is indicative in the poverty/ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) statistics shared above. Another indicator from the County Health Rankings is disconnected youth – while the data is listed only for four of 12 counties, this indicator reveals percentages of teens and young adults ages 16-19 who are neither working nor in school. Research shows disconnected youth have a disproportionate share of related health problems including chronic unemployment, poverty, mental health 25 Homeless youth, disorders, criminal behaviors, incarceration, poor health, and early mortality. who represent a “hidden” population group in these Coalitions certainly comprise disconnected youth with a need for program models to address this disconnectedness. CCP committee members and the RN/WC YAB have all suggested instituting mentorship programs to make an inroad into this issue. In addition to homelessness, poverty impacts mental health, and given the shortage of mental health providers throughout both regions, this is an additional stressor creating conditions impacting health of families and the degree of homelessness experienced by youth/young adults with limited professional help. Homelessness, in turn, amplifies poor mental health, leading to anxiety, fear, depression, sleeplessness and substance use, and for homeless youth, creates a need for trauma-informed care and positive youth development as part of any homelessness preventive model or program. Another stressor causing family dysfunction leading to youth homelessness is excessive use of drugs and alcohol as a Child Protective 24 Lavinson, R. (2019).

Wisconsin Department of Children and Families report, county officials indicated parental drug abuse is the main factor behind a rise in the number of children who are placed with relatives 27 or in foster care.YAB members have also cited drug use and addiction as a major problem for youth experiencing homelessness (March 27 YAB meeting). Summary Analysis. Based on demographic data presented above, the following suppositions are made impacting program models for homeless Y/YA’s and those at risk of homelessness: The RN Coalition is extremely rural with few population centers in each county which impacts the types of homeless programs and services, especially for youth located in RN Coalitioncounties. The rural nature and lack of public transportation creates an additional challenge for homeless Y/YA’s with limited access to shelters, transitional housing, schooling and further education and training, and employment. Becausemost Coalition counties are considered Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) for mental health providers, this creates a challenge to address the social/emotional well-being of homeless Y/YA’s. Large numbers of native youth experiencing homelessness indicate the need for Native American tribal participation in the CCP and identification of preferred homelessness prevention models. There are many stressors experienced by families (e.g., poverty, drug/alcohol use, unemployment, living in a single-parent family, lower graduation rates for economically disadvantaged youth, etc.) that result in Y/YA homelessness and are deterrents to getting ahead. Thus, programs and models need to focus on education and employment opportunities, healthy relationships, mental health interventions, and recovery services for youth experiencing AODA issues and the need to partner with organizations to address and fill these needs.

The number in the McKinney Vento report is most likely more than the numbers indicated above because when LEAs have 0-2 homeless youth in each category for which they are responsible to report data, instead of listing the exact number, they can instead put a “S” in that category. For example, when listing ethnicity, 19 LEAs listed a “S” in the Hispanic column. Another example is the column for homeless children with disabilities with 14 LEAs indicating a “S” in that column. Thus, it is difficult to know the exact number of homeless youth in most categories/columns of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction report. As indicated in the racial make-up of homeless youth, Sawyer County with three schools – Hayward, Winter,and the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe (LCOO) School have a combined total of 114 native youth who are homeless with LCOO school staff indicating99 native youth are 18 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!325 :/4/b currently homeless. This is consistent with research that shows American Indian youth shoulder 41 more than double the risk for homelessness as other youth. While it is difficult to estimate the number of LGBTQ homeless youth, research indicates this 42 number as 20% to 40% of all homeless youth in the United States. Many LGBTQ youth run away from home due to family conflict, but then face overt discrimination when seeking alter- native housing. These vulnerable youth also experience higher rates of sexual assault than homeless heterosexual youth and find themselves more often compromised for money, food, drugs, shelter, or clothes, compared to straight homeless youth. As shown by the National Runaway Safeline data below, youth in both Coalitionswho have either left, or are contem- plating running away from home comprise gender-non-conforming and transgender youth. Thus, when considering youth homeless models/projects for the region, the unique needs of LGBTQ youth must also be taken into consideration. Thus, the estimates above are using research data indicating between 20 and 40% of run-away youth due to identifying as LGBTQ+. Specific numbers have not been listed for trafficked youth because this data is not readily available. However, a 2018 report summarizing data from the Wisconsin child welfare information system regarding allegations and substantiations of child sex trafficking during the 15-month period from June 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018 cites 422 allegations of child sex trafficking across Wisconsin. While 178 (42.2%) of these allegations occurred in Milwaukee 43 County, the remaining 244 (57.8%) occurred in balance of state counties. State officials say human trafficking is a huge problem and cases have been reported in every Wisconsin county. Officials say human trafficking is not just an issue in big cities but also a problem locally including in rural areas with criminals using major highways, such as I-94 running from Minneapolis/St. Paul through many West 44 Central Coalition counties, to transport their victims. While there is no specific data on sex trafficking from each Coalition, this is an area for documentation warranting consideration. Homelessness also impacts youth throughout the region who face abuse in the form of neglect, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse from family, acquaintances and others resulting in being removed from their families or running away, as indicated in the Child Protective Services data above from the Wisconsin Child Abuse & Neglect report. Another alarming indicator in the table above is the proportion of juvenile arrests to total population with St. Croix, Dunn, and Polk Counties having higher rates than all the other counties. Research also shows that children growing up in poverty are more likely to engage in self-harm and be involved in violent crimes 41 https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/homelessness-indian-country-hidden-critical-problem 42 Prevalence of youth homelessness and LGBTQ+ homelessness.

Another critical sub-population with housing needs are youth/young adults experiencing domestic violence issues. The RN and WC Coalitions have six Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Center – Community Referral Agency (Polk and Burnett Counties); Embrace (Washburn, Barron, and Rusk); Stepping Stones (Taylor); Turning Point (Pierce and St. Croix); The Bridge to Hope (Dunn and Pepin); and Oakwood Haven (Sawyer). An example of the extreme need for housing support for YA’s experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault is the following: Turning Point served 65 clients in 2021, six of whom were young adults ages 18-24 with several small children (totaling 11), 17% of the entire shelter population. Of the 542 clients served in 2021, 97 were young adults. Services received include transportation assistance, crisis counseling, legal system support, one-on-one support, support groups, housing services and advocacy and emergency food, clothing, and hygiene products. Embrace served nearly 400 clients, 25 of which were unaccompanied youth either at-risk of homelessness or experiencing homelessness and 360 comprised pregnant or parenting youth. Overall, the extreme number of Y/YA’s who are either homeless or at-risk of homelessness in both regions, the number of youth contemplating or having run-away from home, and the high homeless rate among special populations of Y/YA’s indicates a need for multiple program/ models to solve the problem of youth homelessness. D.FYI Vouchers, FUP Vouchers and RHY Data. The only data available is Runaway/Homeless data, shared below. RHY Data. The National Runaway Safeline (NRS) has compiled statistics of youth contacting the Safeline. Nine youth from the RN Coalition contacted the safeline in the past year. Of these 57.1% were contemplating running and 42.9% were youth in crisis. While 83.3% were living at home the top five issues were family dynamics (40%), emotional/verbal abuse (26.7%), mental health concerns (13.3%), sexual abuse/assault (6.7%) and issues concerning school/education (6.7%). Demographics of RN youth contacting the safeline are Hispanic/Latino (16.7%), White/ Caucasian (83.3%); females (66.7%), males (16.7%) and gender non-conforming (16.7%). Ages of youth were 12 yrs (16.7%), 13 yrs (16.7%), 15 (16.7%), two 17 yrs of age (33.3%), and one youth who was 18 (16.7%). Counties of origin were one youth each from Clark, Rusk, and Taylor Counties, two youth from Washburn County, and four youth from Sawyer County. 45 Mok, P. L. H., Antonson, S., Pedersen, C.

Of these 8 youth (24.2%) were contemplating running, 11 were runaway youth, one self-identified as a throwaway youth and 13 (39.4%) were youth in crisis. Of the 41, 30.3% were currently living at home. The top issues were family dynamics (37.2%), peer/social issues (11.6%), emotional/ verbal abuse (11.6%), physical abuse/assault (10.4%), and mental health issues (9.3%). Demographics of youth were White/Caucasian – 22 (64.7%), unknown/not provided (29.4%), and multi-racial – 2 (5.9%). Of these youth, 80% had been gone 1-3 days from their home and 10% had been gone for 1-3 weeks. Gender demographics are females – 17 (48.6%), males – 10 (28.6%), gender non-conforming – 3 (8.6%), transgender – 3 (8.6%) and unknown/not provided – 2 (5.7%). Age demographics were under 12 yrs (1), 12 yrs (8), 13 yrs (3), 14 (2), 15 (10), 16 (1), 17 (6), and two adults. Counties of origin were Barron (13), Dunn (1), Pepin (3), Polk (10), and St. Croix (10). As shared earlier, Chippewa County with 4 youth is not included in the RN/WC Coalitions Coordinated Community Plan. IV. Goals, Objectives, Action Steps The four USICH (United States Interagency Council on Homelessness) Core Outcomes the Wi BoS is using to determine goals are: 1) Stable housing, including a safe and reliable place to call home. 2) Permanent connections, including ongoing attachments to families, communities, schools, and other positive social networks; 3) Education/employment, including high performance in and completion of education and training activities, especially for younger youth, and starting and maintaining adequate and stable employment, particularly for older youth; and 4) Social-emotional well-being, including development of key competencies, attitudes, and behaviors that equip a young person to succeed across multiple domains of daily life, including school, work, relationships, and community. The BoS has further defined these goals as follows with the RN and WC Coalitions breaking these down into objectives, action steps, a timeline, and parties which would be responsible for implementing these. A. Goals, B. Objectives, C. Partner(s) Responsible, and D. Timeframe. a. Goal 1: Stable Housing.

New Projects Given the severe lack of housing options for Y/YA’s throughout the 12-county region, CCP planning committee members have discussed the need for viable options to provide more effective services, both to prevent Y/YA homelessness, but also options to enable these individuals to secure safe and stable housing. The RN and WC Coalitions believe that two system navigators, one for each Coalition, would be needed to help to facilitate many of the objectives and activities generated in this collaborative plan. The Coalitions are also proposing to hire Case Managers to provide additional support to Y/YA’s. These 35 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!342 :/4/b individuals could provide a single point of contact for youth in helping them to navigate complex systems in addition to their housing and other needs. System navigators and case managers would interface with schools, law enforcement, juvenile justice systems, foster care services, and social service providers (e.g., health care, workforce programs, etc.), to connect youth to coordinated prevention and diversion resources. These individuals will be integral in supporting community partners to meet the needs of youth and serve as a safe and supportive resource for youth whose needs are not currently being addressed in the existing homeless service system. RN and WC navigators will also support and facilitate the local youth action group to ensure their authentic youth voice continues to be part of the solution and integrated into decision-making within the local coalitions.

Other Future plans (e.g., projects not funded by YHDP but other ideas such as additional research needed, data sharing agreements, partnerships not currently happening, etc.) A challenge that has arisen while working on this Coordinated Community Plan is the difficulty in getting support from local elected officials. Given the fast pace with which this initiative has moved, and the requirements involved in developing a comprehensive plan for 12 counties, it has been difficult to garner support outside of the immediate committee, involved in this process. In trying to access these signatures, concerns have been raised by county administrators about the necessity to have county supervisory boards vote on the completed plan as a prerequisite to signing letters of support. Given this, plans are being made now to share this initiative at upcoming county th board meetings, the first of which is scheduled with Rusk County on May 24. We were however, able th to get support from Wisconsin’s 75 Assembly Representative, who represents constituents in 6 of the counties involved in this initiative! 36 Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!343 :/4/b Buubdinfou;!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!Hsbou* Qbdlfu!Qh/!344 :/4/c Buubdinfou;!Tjhobuvsf!Qbhf!up!Tvqqpsu!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!gps!ZIEQ!Hsbou!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Qbdlfu!Qh/!345 :/4/d Appendix A:Project Selection Process This Appendix establishes the funding criteria for projects under the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). HUD is making approximately $72 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funds to demonstrate how a coordinated community approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and younger, can dramatically reduce homelessness. I.!Overview A.Program Description. As discussed in further detail in the full textof the YHDP NOFO, the YHDP was funded by Congress to implement projects that demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and younger, can dramatically reduce homelessness. This includes a variety of approaches, eligible activities and types of projects. This Appendix provides information to Project Applicants in selected communities Coordinated Community Plan (CCP) (as described in Section III.F.b. of the YHDP NOFO). While this Appendix is the primary source of information for Project Applicants, Project Applicants should read the full YHDP NOFO in its entirety in conjunction with the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program interim rule (24 CFR part 578). All projects awarded through the YHDP must be administered in accordance with CoC Program requirements, except as otherwise provided in the YHDP NOFO including section I.A., this appendix, or as specifically authorized by HUD waiver. However, HUD will not waive any regulations pertaining to fair housing, civil rights, or environmental requirements. HUD strongly encourages Project Applicants to review Notices and HUD guidance provided in relation to the CoC Program. B.!Overview of Application Process. 1.!Community Selection Process. To be awarded projects under the YHDP, the community must have been selected by HUD to participate in the YHDP. See the main text of the YHDPNOFO for more information about how to apply to be a selected community. 2.!Project Selection Process. All project applications must be submitted through e-snaps following the process outlined in this Appendix. C.!Highlights. 1. Program Flexibility. YHDP projects may choose to take advantage of the special YHDP activities and other options listed at I.C.1. The following options would not meet CoC program requirements but may be used to carry out YHDP projects. As authorized by the FY 2021 Appropriations Act, projects that use these options (and other YHDP projects) can be renewed with available FY 2021 or prior FY funding for the CoC program. If similar authorization appears in future acts, projects that use these options (and other YHDP projects) could also be renewed with CoC program funding provided under those acts. As stated in I.C.9 of this Appendix, however, HUD will not renew any planning projects.

(2)!YHDP recipients may continue providing supportive services to program participants for up to 24 months after the program participant exits homelessness, transitional housing or after the end of housing assistance if the recipient demonstrates: 1) the proposed length of extended services to be provided; 2) the method it will use to determine whether services are still necessary; and 3) how those services will result in self-sufficiency and ensure stable housing for the YHDP program participant. YHDP recipients may continue providing supportive services to program participants for up to 36 months after the program participant exits homelessness, if the services are in connection with housing assistance, such as the Foster Youth to Independence initiative,or if the recipient can demonstrate that extended supportive services ensures continuity of case workers for program participants. (3)!Recipients will not be required to meet the 25% match requirement if the applicant is able to show it has taken reasonable steps to maximize resources available for youth experiencing homelessness in the community. (4)!Rental assistance may be combined with leasing or operating funds in the same building, provided that the recipient submits a project plan that includes safeguards to ensure that no part of the project would receive a double subsidy. (5)!YHDP recipients may provide payments of up to $1000 per month for families that provide housing under a host home and kinship care model, provided that the recipient can show that the additional cost is necessary to recruit hosts to the program. (6)!In addition to the specific activities authorized above or in 24 CFR part 578, other innovative activities to reduce youth homelessness may be carried out using YHDP funds, provided that the recipient can demonstrate that the activity meets the following criteria: Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 4 Qbdlfu!Qh/!349 :/4/d a)!The activity is supported by both the Youth Action Board and the Continuum of Care, as evidenced by letters of support from each organization; b)!That activity will be testing or likely to achieve a positive outcome in at least one of the four core outcomes for youth experiencing homelessness (stable housing, permanent 1 connections, education/employment, and well-being); c)!The activity is cost effective; and d)!The activity is not in conflict with fair housing, civil rights, or environmental regulations. In order to receive any of the exceptions listed in I.C.1(b), Project Applicants must submit a request to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs at the time of or prior to the project application submission. Project Applicants (or recipients) may also request any of the exceptions listed in I.C.1(b) after projects are approved; however, the recipient cannot make use of the exception until notified that HUD has received and approved the request. In addition to HUD approval, if a grant amendment is required by 24 CFR 578.105, the recipient cannot make use of any requested exceptions until HUD has signed the grant amendment. Requests should be emailed to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs at youthdemo@hud.gov and, if made prior to or at the time of project application submission, the request should also be attached to the project application. Project applicants can obtain a copy of the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act and 24 CFR part 578 on HUD.gov. 2. Coordinated Community Plan. central requirement of the YHDP is that each selected community will develop a community plan to prevent and end youth homelessness. More information is provided in Appendix B of the YHDP NOFO on the community plan; however, for purposes of the project application, it is required that all projects submitted are consistent with the community plan. 3. CoC Involvement. In addition to the involvement described in the full text of the YHDP NOFO, as it relates particularly to the project applications, HUD requires each CoC to implement a thorough review and oversight process at the local level for project applications submitted to HUD as part of the YHDP for projects proposed in their geographic area. Youth receiving services or assistance, either previously or currently, from one or more YHDP project applicants may participate in YHDP project selection. HUD requires Collaborative Applicants or its designee to closely review information provided in each project application to ensure that: a.!All proposed program participants will be eligible for the program component type selected; b.!The proposed activities are eligible under 24 CFR part 578, except as otherwise stated in this Appendix; 1 https://www.usich.gov/resources/uploads/asset_library/USICH_Youth_Framework__FINAL_02_13_131.pdf Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 5 Qbdlfu!Qh/!34: :/4/d c.Allproposed activitiesmeet the criteria stated in IIand III of this Appendix; d.!Each project narrative is fully responsive to the question being asked and that it meets all the criteria for that question as required by the YHDP NOFO; e.!The data provided in various parts of the project application are consistent and accurate; and f.!All required attachments correspond to the attachments list in this Appendix, and the attachments contain accurate and complete information. 4. Youth Action Board Approval. It is important to HUD that youth, including homeless and formerly homeless youth, are involved in every step of the implementation of the YHDP at the local level, and it is for this reason that HUD is requiring selected communities to have a Youth Action Board. For purposes of the project applications, HUD requires that the Youth Action Board have an opportunity to review all project applications thoroughly and that any input will be implemented to the extent that it is feasible within statutory and regulatory guidelines. Youth receiving services or assistance, either previously or currently, from one or more YHDP project applicants may participate in YHDP project selection. Additionally, HUD requires that the Youth Action Board submit a letter of support for all projects submitted to HUD for review and consideration. 5. Serving Households Who AreHomeless Under Other Federal Laws. Project Applicants may requestthat up to 10 percent of the funding awarded to their selected community under this demonstration be approved to serve households with children and youth who do not meet paragraph 1, 2 or 4 of the homeless definition at 24 CFR 576.2 but are homeless under another Federal statute in paragraph 3 of the definition of homeless at 24 CFR 576.2. The decision to request to serve this population must be reflected and supported in the CCP and must show that the grant funds to serve such persons is an equal or greater priority than serving persons defined as homeless under paragraphs 1, 2, or 4 of the homeless definition. rd 6. Serving Households Who Lack3 Party Documentation or Live in Unsafe Situations. Youth aged 24 and under must not be required to provide third-party documentation that they meet the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3 as a condition for receiving services funded under the YHDP NOFO. Additionally, any youth-serving provider funded under the YHDP NOFO may serve unaccompanied youth aged 24 and under and families headed by youth aged 24 and under who are living in unsafe situations. HUD interprets - provide services to youth aged 24 and under and families headed by youth aged 24 and nighttime residence and no safe alternative to that residence. These requirements supersede any conflicting requirements under the YHDP NOFO, this appendix, the Act, or the CoC Program rule. 7. Project Types. Project Applicants can apply for all projects permitted under the CoC Program so long as the projects meet the threshold criteria in III of this Appendix. Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 6 Qbdlfu!Qh/!351 :/4/d 8.Project geography: Planning grants may be used forplanning activities, including developing the CCP, that extend to the entire geographic area of the CoC, even if the selected YHDP community does not cover the entire geographic area of the CoC. For all other projects funded by YHDP, funding must only be used to serve youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in the geographic area identified in the YHDP application. 9. Grant terms. Projects awarded under YHDP will have an initial term of 24-30 months unless extended. All grants besides planning may be renewed for a 1-year grant term under the CoC program as outlined in section I.C. of this Appendix. 10. Fair Market Rent (FMR). Funds awarded for rental assistance will be awarded using the most recent FMRs published at the time of each award. 11. Resubmitting Previously Rejected Projects. There is nothing in this Appendix that prohibits a Project Applicant from resubmitting a project application that has been previously rejected or not funded by HUD in the YHDP competition. However, the Project Applicant should carefully review the reasons that HUD rejected the project and make necessary revisions to ensure that the project passes the quality and threshold review, including that the project meets all requirements laid out in this appendix and the YHDP NOFO. Applicants must submit all project applications, including resubmitted project applications, by the application deadline (see Section VI.A. of this Appendix). D.!Definitions and Concepts. The definitions contained in this section include terms that are important for all Project Applicants to understand in order to complete all parts of the Project Application in e-snaps. 1.!Definitions from 24 CFR 578.3 a.!Centralized or coordinated assessment system b.!Collaborative applicant c.!Continuum of Care d.!Eligible applicant e.!Homeless f.!Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) g.!Permanent Housing h.!Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) i.!Private Nonprofit Organization j.!Recipient k.!Subrecipient l.!Transitional Housing Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 7 Qbdlfu!Qh/!352 :/4/d m.UnifiedFunding Agency(UFA) 2.!YHDP Project Selection Process Definitions. The following terms are not found in 24 CFR part 578 but are used in this YHDP NOFO and Appendix to define concepts that specifically apply to the project selection process for the YHDP. a.!Coordinated community plan. The plan developed by a selected community includes the components outlined in Appendix B and addresses the issues identified in Section III.F.b. of the YHDP NOFO. b.!Congregate Living. Independent living in separate rooms or units, with opportunities to share activities of daily living with other residents, as one chooses. c.! Crisis Residential Transitional Housing. A form of transitional housing that is short-term, low-barrier, utilizes a congregate living setting, and provides access to the following supportive services in particular: family engagement and unification, case management, emergency triage services and other supportive services whose purpose is to move youth rapidly into stable housing. d.!Host Home and Kinship Care. A model in which a family agrees to permit a youth to reside with them. Recognizing that the addition of another person in the home may increase costs to the family, HUD will entertain applications that propose to house youth with families and to subsidize the additional costs attributable to housing the youth. The residence is in a community-based setting. The family could be related to the youth and the length of stay may be time-limited or without time limits. e.!Housing First. A model of housing assistance that prioritizes rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing that does not have service participation requirements or preconditions (such as sobriety or a minimum income threshold).Transitional housing and supportive service only projects can be considered to be using a Housing First model for the purposes of this NOFO if they operate with low-barriers, work to quickly move people into permanent housing, do not require participation in supportive services, and, for transitional housing projects, do not require any preconditions for moving into the transitional housing (e.g., sobriety or minimum income threshold). f.!Joint TH and PH-RRH Component Project. The Joint TH and PH-RRH component project combines two existing program componentstransitional housing and permanent housing-rapid rehousingin a single project to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness. g.!Positive Youth Development (PYD) Model. Defined by the Federal Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs as an intentional, pro-social approach that engages youth in a manner that is productive and constructive; recognizes, utilizes, and enhances youths strengths; and promotes positive outcomes for young people by providing opportunities, fostering positive Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 8 Qbdlfu!Qh/!353 :/4/d relationshipsand furnishing the support needed to build on their leadership strengths. PYD programs are generally focused on the following six youth outcomes: Confidence; Character; Connection; Competence; Caring; and Contribution. at: http://youth.gov/youth-topics/positive-youth-development. h.!Program Participant. A person assisted under a YHDP project. i.!Project. A group of eligible activities, identified as a project in an application to HUD for YHDP funds and includes a structure (or structures) that is (are) acquired, rehabilitated, constructed, or leased with assistance provided under this part or with respect to which HUD provides rental assistance or annual payments for operating costs, or supportive services. j.!Selected Community. A community that is selected by HUD to participate in the YHDP. k.!Shared Housing. A model of housing assistance where rental assistance is provided for a youth to reside with a family or another unrelated person. The youth leases from the property owner and shares the unit with the family or unrelated person. The unit may be a house or an apartment. YHDP rental assistance cannot be provided to a youth to reside in a unit occupied by an immediate family member. For this parents, grandparents, and legal guardians. YHDP rental assistance cannot be provided to a youth in a shared housing unit if the landlord is an immediate family member of the youth. YHDP rental assistance may only be provided to a youth if the youth can enter into a valid, binding, and enforceable lease under applicable state or local law. This includes a legally appointed guardian executing a lease on behalf of a youth or an emancipated youth entering into a lease. l.!Trauma Informed Care (TIC) Model. An approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery, recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system, responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization. TIC models generally include a focus on the following: Safety; Trustworthiness and Transparency; Peer Support; Collaboration and Mutuality; Empowerment; Voice and Choice; and Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues.

Eligible Applicants for YHDP project funding (Project Applicants) are outlined in section III.A of the YHDP NOFO. To be considered for funding, Project Applicants must complete the information required by HUD, receive the approval of the YAB for their project(s) through a letter of support, and receive the approval of the CoC to apply for funding, as indicated by a letter of support from the Collaborative Applicant or its designee. All subrecipients must also meet the eligibility standards as described above. HUD will review project subrecipient eligibility as part of the threshold review process. Project Applicants are required to submit documentation of their application. Collaborative Applicants that are not UFAs may designate an Eligible Applicant to apply for and be the recipient of a planning grant. UFAs must apply for and be the recipient of all grants for their Community. For a dedicated HMIS grant, the application must either be from the UFA (when there is a UFA for the Community) or the HMIS Lead (when there is no UFA for the Community) that will be the grant recipient. B.!Matching. Provisions at 24 CFR 578.73 apply to grants unless the recipient receives approval for build-in exception outlined at I.C.1.b.3. C.!Program Income. The recipient may choose to use program income as a source of match. If program income is used as a source of match, the project applicant must describe thisin the project application. D.!Other Project Eligibility Requirements 1.!Grant Terms. All grants for projects will be for an initial 2-year grant term, unless the applicant requests an initial grant term of up to 30-month. The grant term may be extended consistent with 2 CFR 200.308 and 2 CFR 200.309. 2.!Eligible Program Participants. a.!Funds awarded under the YHDP must only be used to serve youth aged 24 or younger, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth, including as necessary to reunite youth aged 24 or younger with family members; and b.!All youth must initially qualify as homeless under paragraph (1), (2), or (4) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3, except as stated in I.C.5 and I.C.6 of this Appendix. 3.!Eligible Components and Costs. Since the purpose of the YHDP is to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth can dramatically reduce homelessness, HUD will also allow selected communities to apply for projects that are not eligible through the CoC Program Competition in order to implement their CCP to prevent and end youth homelessness consistent with the requirements in I.C.1 of this Appendix or as specifically authorized by HUD waiver. The project Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 10 Qbdlfu!Qh/!355 :/4/d application mustwhy the program design should be tested. All projects funded under YHDP are subject to requirements outlined in section I of this Appendix, including the requirement in I.C.1 for projects taking advantage of the special YHDP activities and other options listed there. In addition to grants for Planning projects, Project Applicants may apply for the following new projects: a.! Eligible costs listed in 24 CFR 578.43 through 578.63 when used to establish and operate projects under the following program components established at 24 CFR 578.37: (1)!Permanent housing, including PSH and RRH (2)!Transitional housing, including Crisis Residential transitional housing (3)!HMIS (4)!Supportive Service Only (SSO), including, but not limited to, projects dedicated to coordinated entry, housing search and placement services, case management, drop-in centers, legal services, or street outreach; In addition to funding projects that use these components, Collaborative Applicants may apply for Joint TH and PH-RRH component projects. b.!Projects or activities that are fundable under the Demonstration include: (1)!Host Homes and Kinship care. YHDP funds may be used to subsidize the increased costs to the family that are attributable to housing the youth. An example of eligible costs would be additional food or transportation costs, which are eligible supportive services under 24 CFR 578.53(e)(7) or 24 CFR 578.53(e)(15). The project application must describe how the costs will be determined by the project applicant. (2) Shared housing. YHDP funds may be used to provide tenant-based rental assistance for a youth to reside with a family or another unrelated person. All CoC requirements that apply to rental assistance would apply to rental assistance provided in shared housing. These requirements include the following: i. There must be a rental assistance agreement between the recipient or the subrecipient and the owner; ii. The housing meets CoC housing quality standards, or habitability standards if permitted under I.C.1.a.7 of this appendix; iii. The rental assistance is provided in accordance with applicable written standards; Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 11 Qbdlfu!Qh/!356 :/4/d iv.Rental assistance is not provided to a program participant who is receiving project-based rental assistance or operating assistance, through other public sources; and v.

For example, in the case of a single youth who will occupy one bedroom in a 4-- rata share of the 4-bedroom FMR (i.e. ¼ of the 4-bedroom FMR). 4.!Environmental Requirements. Notwithstanding provisions at 24 CFR 578.31 and 24 CFR 578.99(a) of the CoC Program interim rule, and in accordance with Section 100261(3) of MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141, 126 Stat. 405), activities under the YHPD NOFO are subject to environmental review by a responsible entity under HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58. a. Additionally, HUD has clarified two requirements for projects categorized as Categorically Excluded from review under the National Environmental Policy Act and not subject to the laws and authorities at 58.5 (CENST): i. All scattered-site projects, where participants choose their own unit and are not restricted to units within a pre-determined specific project site or sites, are categorized in 24 CFR 58.35(b)(1) as CENST. This includes both tenant-based rental assistance and scattered-site leasing projects where the program participant chooses their unit. Previous guidance included only tenant-based rental assistance as eligible CENST projects. ii. The exempt or CENST format is only required for each project, not each unit. Previous guidance instructed recipients to complete and exemption or CENST form for each unit. b. For activities under a grant to a Project Grant Recipient other than a responsible entity (a State, Tribe, or unit of general local government) that generally would be subject to review under part 58, HUD may make a finding in accordance with 24 CFR 58.11(d) and may itself perform the environmental review under the provisions of 24 CFR part 50 if the Project Grant Recipient CFR part 58. c. Irrespective of whether the responsible entity, in accordance with 24 CFR part 58, or HUD, in accordance with 24 CFR part 50, performs the environmental review, the Project Grant Recipient must supply all available, relevant information necessary for the responsible entity (or HUD, if applicable) to perform for each property any required environmental review. The Project Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 12 Qbdlfu!Qh/!357 :/4/d Grant Recipient also must carry out mitigating measures required by the responsible entity (or HUD, if applicable) or select alternative property. d. The Project Grant Recipient, its project partners, and their contractors are prohibited from acquiring, rehabilitating, converting, leasing, repairing, disposing of, demolishing, or constructing property for a project under the YHPD NOFO, or committing or expending HUD or local funds for such eligible activities under this NOFO, until the responsible entity (as defined by 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7)) has completed the environmental review procedures required by 24 CFR part 58 and the environmental certification and Request for Release of Funds (RROF) have been approved, if applicable,or HUD has performed an environmental review under 24 CFR part 50 and the Project Grant Recipient has received HUD approval of the property. HUD will not release grant funds if the recipient or any other party commits grant funds (i.e., incurs any costs or expenditures to be paid or reimbursed with such funds) before the recipient submits and HUD approves its RROF, where such submission is required. III.!Threshold Criteria. HUD will only select projects for funding that pass the following threshold criteria. If a project does not originally pass threshold criteria and is rejected by HUD, the Project Applicant may resubmit the project application to HUD; however, the Project Applicant and the selected community should review the project carefully prior to resubmitting and address all deficiencies. A.!Ineligible Applicants. HUD will not consider an application from an ineligible Project Applicant. All project applications for grants, including planning grants, in communities with a UFA must be from the UFA. For a dedicated HMIS grant, the application must either be from the UFA (when there is a UFA for the Community) or the HMIS Lead (when there is no UFA for the Community) that will be the grant recipient. B.!DUNS Number Requirement. All Project Applicants seeking funding under the YHDP NOFO must have a DUNS number and include the number in the Standard Form 424 (SF- 424). The SF-424 must be submitted along with the project application in e-snaps. C.!Active Registration in SAM. All Project Applicants seeking funding under the YHDP NOFO must have an active SAM registration. HUD will not issue a grant agreement for awarded funds to a Project Applicant until it verifies that its SAM registration is active. D.!Project Eligibility Threshold. HUD will review all projects to determine if they meet the following eligibility threshold requirements on a pass/fail standard. If HUD determines that the applicable standards are not met for a project, the project will be rejected. However, there is nothing to prohibit a project that has been rejected from addressing the deficient project application and resubmitting it to HUD, with the approval of the Collaborative Applicant or its designee, for consideration. HUD requires that the Youth Action Board, and the Collaborative Applicant or its designee, submit updated letters of support for all projects Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 13 Qbdlfu!Qh/!358 :/4/d submitted to HUD, including those resubmitted after rejection.A determination that a project meets the project eligibility threshold is not a determination by HUD that a recipient is in compliance with applicable fair housing and civil rights requirements. 1.!Project Applicants and potential subrecipients must meet the criteria for Eligible Applicants outlined in section III.A of the YHDP NOFO and provide evidence of eligibility required in the project application (e.g., nonprofit documentation). 2.!Project Applicants and subrecipients must demonstrate the financial and management capacity and experience to carry out the project as detailed in the project application and to administer Federal funds. Demonstrating capacity may include a description of the Project Applicant or subrecipients experience with similar projects and with successful administration of CoC Program funds or other Federal funds. 3.!The population to be served must meet D.2 of this appendix. 4.!The project must be cost effective, including costs of construction, operations, and supportive services with such costs not deviating substantially from the norm in that locale for the type of structure or kind of activity. 5.!Project Applicants, for anything other than SSO grants for coordinated entry and for Planning costs, must agree to participate in a local HMIS system. However, in accordance with Section 407 of the Act, any victim service provider that is a recipient or subrecipient must not disclose, for purposes of HMIS, any personally identifying information about any client. Victim service providers must use a comparable database. 6.!Dedicated HMIS grants may only be used for recipient costs of implementing or expanding youth specific HMIS system components (e.g., adding youth-specific data standards, evaluating this program, or to develop YHDP specific reports) or to add youth organizations to the HMIS. 7.!SSO grants specifically for coordinated entry process may only be used to implement the process. 8.!Grants for planning funds may only be used for the costs of activities that are described in 24 CFR 578.39 and are specific to preventing and ending youth homelessness (e.g., developing youth specific guidance for the 2021 PIT Count or developing the Youth Action Board). 9.!Projects providing supportive services or housing assistance to program participants must incorporate Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Trauma Informed Care (TIC) models of housing and service delivery. E.!Project Quality Threshold. HUD will review all project applications to determine if they meet the following project quality threshold requirements. As specified below, not all the criteria in paragraphs E.2 through E.6 must be shown for conditional selection of a project. If awarded, however, each project must meet all the criteria that applies to its project type.

VI.!Submission Dates and Times A.!Application Period. The application period begins for planning projects on the date HUD announces selection of the community for YHDP funding and for all other projects on the date HUD approves the selected CCP. The application period ends at 11:59 PM EDT,July 1, 2023 for Project Applicants within communities selected to receive funding. HUD will rejectany projects that are submitted outside the application period. B.!Exporting Project Application for Applicant Records. HUD strongly encourages Project Applicants toe-snapsto print a hard copy of all submission documents for their records. This can be completed prior to or after submission. VII.!Other Submission Requirements Waiver of Electronic Submission Requirements. A.!equirement is the final rule established in 24 CFR 5.1005. Project Applicants seeking a waiver of the electronic submission requirement must request a waiver in accordance with 24 CFR 5.1005. HUD regulations allow for a waiver of the electronic submission requirement for good cause. Similar to the CoC Program Competition, HUD is defining good cause for the YHDP Competition as follows: 1.!there are no computers that could be used by the Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant that are newer than 5 years old anywhere within the selected geographic area; or 2.!there are no computers that could be used by Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant anywhere within the geographic area; or 3.!there is no internet access that could be used by Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant anywhere within the geographic area. B.!To request a waiver , the Collaborative Applicant should address written notification to Norm Suchar, Director, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPs), and submit the request to YouthDemo@hud.gov. Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!B!Qspkfdu!Tfmfdujpo!Qspdftt!gps!ZIEQ!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn 20 Qbdlfu!Qh/!365 :/4/d C.If HUD grants the waiver, itsresponse will include instructions onhow and where the paper project application must be submitted. HUD will not extend the application deadline for Project Applicants that are granted a waiver of the electronic submission requirement. Therefore, Project Applicants seeking a waiver of the electronic submission requirement should submit their waiver request with sufficient time to allow HUD to process and respond to the request. For this reason, HUD strongly recommends that if a Project Applicant finds it cannot submit its project application electronically and must seek a waiver of the electronic grant submission requirement, it should submit the waiver request to SNAPs at YouthDemo@hud.gov no later than 30 days after the opening of the project application portion of the competition. To expedite the receipt and review of each request, Project Applicants may fax their written requests to Norm Suchar, at (202) 401-0053. If HUD does not have sufficient time to process the waiver request, HUD will not grant a waiver. Finally, HUD will not consider paper applications received without a prior approved waiver or after the established deadline.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY DESCRIPTION. A. Program Description. Purpose The goal of the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) is to support selected communities in the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness and sharing that experience with and mobilizing communities around the country toward the same end. The population to be served by Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 3 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!371 :/4/e this demonstration program is youth experiencing homelessness, including unaccompanied and Build national momentum. Motivate state and local homelessness stakeholders and youth services providers, including Runaway and Homeless Youth providers across the country to prevent and end youth homelessness by forming new partnerships, addressing system barriers, conducting needs assessments, testing promising strategies, and evaluating their outcomes; Promote equity in the delivery and outcomes of homeless assistance. Executive Order 13985 calls on agencies to advance equity through identifying and addressing barriers to equal opportunity that communities may face due to government policies and programs. Similarly, HUD expects YHDP recipients to promote equity throughout the community's youth homeless response system for youth who are disproportionally more likely to experience homelessness, such as Black, Indigenous, Hispanic (non-white), and LGBTQ response system and all YHDP projects will measure and demonstrate equitable delivery and outcomes. This includes identifying barriers that led to any disparities in subpopulations being served and taking steps to eliminate these barriers in the community's youth homeless response system. Highlight the importance of youth leadership: Demonstrate effective models of strong leadership and agency by youth with lived experience in the community. Create replicable best practices of youth leadership for other communities. Evaluate the coordinated community approach. Evaluate coordinated community approaches to preventing and ending youth homelessness, including local and state partnerships across sectors and other planning operations; assistance, and determine what array of interventions is necessary to serve the target population in their community; Evaluate performance measures. Evaluate the use of performance measurement strategies designed to better measure youth outcomes and the connection between youth program outcomes and youth performance measures on overall system performance for the Continuum of Care (CoC); and Establish a framework for Federal program and TA collaboration. Determine the most effective way for Federal resources to interact within a state or local system to support a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) ("FY 2021 Appropriations to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and under Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 4 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!372 :/4/e communities, with a priority for communities with substantial rural populations in up to eight and to alert each community selected of the amount of money available to them through the YHDP. Subject to HUD's right to select lower scoring community selection applications under Technical assistance will be available to selected communities to assist them in analyzing community strengths and needs, developing a coordinated community plan (CCP), implementing the plan, and then engaging in a process of continuous quality improvement. HUD will share outcomes and make resources publicly available as quickly as possible to accelerate efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness nationally. In addition, HUD, and to the extent possible, its Federal partners, will work to accelerate HUD's learning related to youth and the concepts of: Housing First; Assessment and prioritization; Coordinated entry; Risk and protective factors for youth homelessness; Diversion from child welfare and systems of justice; Success in education and employment; Serving victims of violence, including trafficking; System performance measures HUD recognizes that there are promising strategies concerning these concepts but limited evidence to support replication of best practices. Given the importance of advancing our understanding in this topic area, HUD is very interested in communities that will commit to focusing attention on these issues. After the application submission deadline, HUD will take several months to assess the applications and select communities. Award amount for communities is outlined in Section II.C. Once HUD announces the selected communities, communities will have a total of 6 months of this deadline by emailing youthdemo@hud.gov.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, if an applicant organization that is responsible for paying YAB members for work performed as YAB duties wishes to submit a project for local YHDP selection, the applicant or collaborative applicant must comply with the conflict of interest exception request requirements found at 24 CFR 578.95(d)(2)(i)(A) but not 24 578.95 (d)(2)(i)(B). Changes from Previous NOFO. ways. Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities are eligible applicants for YHDP funding. In December 2020, Congress passed the FY 2021 Appropriations Act which amended the McKinney-Vento Act, allowing Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) to apply for CoC program funding, form their own CoCs, and making “formula areas,” as that term is defined in the Indian Housing Block Grant program at 24 CFR 1000.302, eligible to be added to the geographic areas of existing CoCs or to become newly formed CoCs. To align with this change, HUD is choosing to allow Tribes and TDHEs to apply for and be designated as YHDP communities or YHDP project recipients, as well as allowing projects to be sited on Tribes’ formula areas, including trust lands and reservations. HUD removed the Point in Time (PIT) count as a component of the funding formula because HUD waived the unsheltered count in 2021 and these counts may be outdated. HUD modified the process for determining funding levels to address ties in application scores.

Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) means taking meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination to overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunities, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws. The duty to affirmatively further fair housing extends to all program participant’s activities and programs relating to housing and urban development. Assistance Listing number refers to the publicly available listing of Federal assistance programs managed and administered by the General Services Administration, formerly known as the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). Assistance Listing is a unique number assigned to identify a Federal Assistance Listings, formerly known as the CFDA Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) is the person authorized to submit applications on behalf of the organization via Grants.gov. The AOR is authorized by the E-Biz point of contact in the System for Award Management. The AOR is listed in item 21 on the SF- 424. Consolidated Plan is a document developed by states and local jurisdictions. This plan is completed by engaging in a participatory process to assess their affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions with funding from formula grant programs. (See 24 CFR part 91 for HUD’s requirements regarding the Consolidated Plan and related Action Plan). Contract means, for the purpose of Federal financial assistance, a legal instrument by which a recipient or subrecipient purchases property or services needed to carry out the project or program under a federal award. For additional information on contractor and subrecipient determinations, see 2 CFR 200.331. Contractor means an entity that receives a contract as defined above and in 2 CFR 200.1. Deficiency is information missing or omitted within a submitted application. Examples of deficiencies include missing documents, information on a form, or some other type of unsatisfied information requirement.

B. Authority. II. Award Information. A. Available Funds Funding of approximately $72,000,000 is available through this NOFO. Additional funds may become available for award under this NOFO, because of HUD's efforts to recapture funds, use carryover funds, or because of the availability of additional appropriated funds. Use of these funds might be subject to statutory constraints or other requirements. All awards are subject to the funding restrictions contained in this NOFO. B. Number of Awards. HUD expects to make approximately 25 awards from the funds available under this NOFO. A Collaborative Applicant can apply on behalf of more than one community; however, HUD HUD will consider applications from Collaborative Applicants applying for a geographic area that was not included in previous YHDP competitions. Any area that was included in previous YHDP awards may not be included in the application for such areas.

Minimum/Maximum Award Information one project or split among 10 projects. HUD will use the following process to select communities and determine the total funding to be made available in each community under this NOFO. HUD will rank community applications in order of responses to the rating factors outlined in Section V.A.1 of this NOFO. If two or more communities receive the same score, HUD will rank the applications according to the score on Youth Collaboration Rating Factor. HUD will use a formula, outlined below, to determine each selected community's maximum total funding in order to scale awards to estimated community need. The formula uses the following factors: Youth in Poverty: Number of people age 12-24 who are in poverty in the geographic area (# of youth in poverty, using data from the American Community Survey); more than one FMR for the geographic area, HUD will calculate a population weighted average (FMR). HUD will select 16 community applications, which will be the 16 highest scoring community applications unless HUD exercises its right to select lower scoring community selection applications as provided in Section III.F.a, apply the formula, then select further communities and rerun the formula for all selected communities as explained below. 1. geographic area listed in the community application. This is called the community's "formula factor." 2. sum of the formula factors for all communities selected. This is called the "community ratio." 3. 4. For each selected community, HUD will multiply its community ratio by the total YHDP funding remaining after step 3, then add the resulting amount to the community's initial formula amount in step 3 to come up with the community's new formula amount. 5.

Once a selected community falls below a ratio of .09 or 25 communities are selected and receive formula amounts, HUD will stop selecting communities. The purpose of this step is to ensure that each selected community receives enough funding to have a substantial impact. It does this by setting a minimum level of funding, adjusted for the size of selected communities and level of need. Estimated Total Funding: $72,000,000 Minimum Award Amount: $1,000,000 Per Project Period Maximum Award Amount: $15,000,000 Per Project Period D. Period of Performance Project Applicants within selected communities may apply for projects designed to implement the CCP to prevent and end youth homelessness immediately following the approval of the CCP and up until 11:59:59 PM EDT, July 1, 2023, or until the community ceases to participate or the available funds have been depleted (whichever is earlier). During plan development, YHDP funds by September 30, 2023. The period of performance and budget period for each this period of performance and/or budget period. However, in no case will HUD authorize expenditures or drawdown of funds beyond the date HUD's FY 2021 YHDP account must be closed under applicable law or for administrative purposes (approximately September 20, 2028). Project Applicants must plan accordingly and only submit applications that can start operations in a timely manner with sufficient time to complete the post award process and the awarded grant term. Projects will be for an initial 2-year grant term; however, HUD will allow projects to request a longer initial grant term not to exceed 30 months. HUD has determined that most projects normally take approximately 3 to 6 months to begin fully operating a project (e.g., hiring staff, developing partnerships with landowners if leasing or renting). Therefore, a project may request up to a 30-month grant term that will allow for the additional start-up process. The grant term may be extended consistent with 2 CFR 200.308 and 2 CFR 200.309.

F. Program-Specific Requirements. a. Identifying a Target Community Area Applicants have the option of identifying the entire geographic area of the CoC as the demonstration community or designating a smaller area that includes a single community or group of communities within the CoC’s geographic area as the YHDP community. In addition, the CoC can designate the application as a rural community application, competing for the prioritization of up to 8 rural communities. If an applicant decides to submit two applications, one for the rural communities within the CoC and one for the non-rural areas or the entire CoC, HUD will consider both applications independently but will only select one community per CoC. HUD has determined that geographic diversity is an appropriate consideration in selecting communities for the YHDP. To this end, HUD reserves the right to select lower scoring community selection applications in order to fund eligible communities with the highest total score in each of the 10 HUD regions.

HUD may also extend the application deadline upon request if there is a presidentially declared disaster in the applicant’s area. If these events occur, HUD will post a notice on its website establishing the new, extended deadline for the affected applicants. HUD will also include the fact of the extension in the program’s NOFO required to be published in the Federal Register. In determining whether to grant a request for an extension based on a presidentially declared disaster, HUD will consider the totality of the circumstances including the date of an applicant’s extension request (how closely it followed the basis for the extension), whether other applicants in the geographic area are similarly affected by the disaster, and how quickly power or services are restored to enable the applicant to submit its application. PLEASE NOTE: Busy servers, slow processing, large file sizes, improper registration or password issues are not valid circumstances to extend the deadline dates or the grace period. 1. Amending or resubmitting an Application. Before the submission deadline, you may amend a validated application through Grants.gov by resubmitting a revised application containing the new or changed material. The resubmitted application must be received and validated by Grants.gov by the applicable deadline. If HUD receives an original and a revised application for a single proposal, HUD will evaluate only the last submission received by Grants.gov before the deadline. 2. Grace Period for Grants.gov Submissions. If your application is received by Grants.gov before the deadline, but is rejected with errors, you have a grace period of 24 hours after the application deadline to submit a corrected, received, and validated application through Grants.gov. The date and time stamp on the Grants.gov system determines the application receipt time. Any application submitted during the grace period not received and validated by Grants.gov will not be considered for funding. There is no grace period for paper applications. 3. Late Applications. An application received after the NOFO deadline date that does not meet the Grace Period requirements will be marked late and will not be reviewed by HUD for funding consideration. Improper or expired registration and password issues are not sufficient cause to allow HUD to accept applications after the deadline date. 4. Corrections to Deficient Applications. HUD will not consider information from applicants after the application deadline except for curable deficiencies. HUD will uniformly notify applicants of each curable deficiency. See curable deficiency in the definitions section (a. Standard Definitions). Examples of curable (correctable) deficiencies include inconsistencies in the funding request and failure to submit required certifications. These examples are non-exhaustive.

This email is the official notification of a curable deficiency. Applicants must email corrections of Curable Deficiencies to applicationsupport@hud.gov within the time limits specified in the notification. The time allowed to correct deficiencies will be no less than 48 hours and no more than 14 calendar days from the date of the email notification. The start of the cure period will be the date stamp on the email sent from HUD. If the deficiency cure deadline date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, Federal holiday, or on a day when HUD’s Headquarters are closed, then the applicant’s correction must be received on the next business day HUD Headquarters offices in Washington, DC are open. The subject line of the email sent to applicationsupport@hud.gov must state: Technical Cure and include the Grants.gov application tracking number or the GrantSolutions application number (e.g., Subject: Technical Cure - GRANT123456 or Technical Cure - XXXXXXXXXXX). If this information is not included, HUD cannot match the response with the application under review and the application may be rejected due to the deficiency. Corrections to a paper application must be sent in accordance with and to the address indicated in the notification of deficiency. HUD will treat a paper application submitted in accordance with a waiver of electronic application containing the wrong UEI/DUNS number as having a curable deficiency. Failure to correct the deficiency and meet the requirement to have a UEI/DUNS number and active registration in SAM will render the application ineligible for funding. 5. Authoritative Versions of HUD NOFOs. The version of these NOFOs as posted on Grants.gov are the official documents HUD uses to solicit applications. 6. Exemptions. Parties that believe the requirements of the NOFO would impose a substantial burden on the exercise of their religion should seek an exemption under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). E. Intergovernmental Review. This program is not subject to Executive Order 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs. F. Funding Restrictions. NA Indirect Cost Rate. Normal indirect cost rules under 2 CFR part 200, subpart E apply. If you intend to charge indirect costs to your award, your application must clearly state the rate and distribution base you intend to use. If you have a Federally negotiated indirect cost rate, your application must also include a letter or other documentation from the cognizant agency showing the approved rate. Successful applicants whose rate changes after the application deadline must submit the new rate and documentation to assure the award agreement incorporates the applicable rate. Applicants other than state and local governments. If you have a Federally negotiated indirect Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt cost rate, your application must clearly state the approved rate and distribution base and must Page 27 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!395 :/4/e include a letter or other documentation from the cognizant agency showing the approved rate. If your organization does not have a current negotiated rate (including provisional) rate and elects to use the de minimis rate, your application must clearly state you intend to use the de minimis rate of 10% of Modified Total Direct Costs (MTDC). As described in 2 CFR 200.403, costs must be consistently charged as either indirect or direct costs but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged as both. Once elected, the de minimis rate must be applied consistently for all Federal awards until the organization chooses to negotiate a rate, which the organization may apply to do at any time. Documentation of the decision to use the de minimis rate must be retained on file for audit. State and local governments. If your department or agency unit has a Federally negotiated indirect cost rate, your application must include that rate, the applicable distribution base, and a letter or other documentation from the cognizant agency showing the negotiated rate. If your department or agency unit receives more than $35 million in direct Federal funding per year, you may not claim indirect costs until you receive a negotiated rate from your cognizant agency for indirect costs as provided in Appendix VII to 2 CFR Part 200. If your department or agency unit receives no more than $35 million in direct Federal funding per year and your department or agency unit has developed and maintains an indirect cost rate proposal and supporting documentation for audit in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix VII, you may use the rate and distribution base specified in that indirect cost rate proposal. Alternatively, if your department or agency unit receives no more than $35 million in direct Federal funding per year and does not have a current negotiated rate (including provisional) rate, you may elect to use the de minimis rate of 10% of MTDC. As described in 2 CFR 200.403, costs must be consistently charged as either indirect or direct costs but may not be double charged or inconsistently charged as both. Once elected, the de minimis rate must be applied consistently for all Federal awards until you choose to negotiate for a rate, which you may apply to do at any time. Documentation of the decision to use the de minimis rate must be retained on file for audit. G. Other Submission Requirements. Application, Assurances, Certifications and Disclosures. Standard Form 424 (SF-424) Application for Federal Assistance Programs is the government-wide form required to apply for Application for Federal Assistance Programs, discretionary Federal grants, and other forms of financial assistance programs. Applicants for this Federal assistance program must submit all required forms in the SF-424 Family of forms, including SF-424B (Assurances of Non construction Programs) or SF-424D (Assurances for Construction Programs). Applications receiving funds for both non-construction programs and construction programs must submit both the SF-424B and SF-424D. By signing the forms in the SF-424 either through electronic submission or in paper copy submission (for those granted a waiver), the applicant and the signing authorized organization representative affirm that they have reviewed the certifications and assurances associated with the application for Federal assistance and (1) are aware the submission of the SF-424 is an Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt assertion that the relevant certifications and assurances are established and (2) acknowledge that Page 28 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!396 :/4/e the truthfulness of the certifications and assurances are material representations upon which HUD will rely when making an award to the applicant. If it is later determined the signing authorized organization representative to the application made a false certification or assurance, caused the submission of a false certification or assurance, or did not have the authority to make a legally binding commitment for the applicant, the applicant and the individual who signed the application may be subject to administrative, civil, or criminal action. Additionally, HUD may terminate the award to the applicant organization or pursue other available remedies. Each applicant is responsible for including the correct certifications and assurances with its application submission, including those applicable to all applicants, those applicable only to Federally recognized Indian tribes, or Alaskan native villages and those applicable to applicants other than federally recognized Indian tribes or Alaskan native villages. Assurances.

One feature of the statute requires certain disclosures by applicants seeking assistance from HUD, assistance from states and units of local government, and other assistance to be used with respect to the activities to be carried out with the assistance. The disclosure includes the financial interests of persons in the activities, and the sources of funds to be made available for the activities, and the proposed uses of the funds. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. With some exceptions for federally recognized Indian tribes and their instrumentalities, the application must discuss how the applicant will carry out the proposed activities in a manner that affirmatively furthers fair housing in compliance with the Fair Housing Act and its implementing regulations. Applicants may propose activities that are consistent with their jurisdiction’s Analysis of Impediments (AI), an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), or other means of fair housing planning that meaningfully supports their AFFH certification.

HUD is making approximately $72 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funds to demonstrate how a coordinated community approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and younger, can dramatically reduce homelessness. I. Overview A. Program Description. As discussed in further detail in the full text of the YHDP NOFO, the YHDP was funded by Congress to implement projects that demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and younger, can dramatically reduce homelessness. This includes a variety of approaches, eligible activities and types of projects. This Appendix provides information to Project Applicants in selected communities about how they can apply for projects to support their community’s Coordinated Community Plan (CCP) (as described in Section III.F.b. of the YHDP NOFO). While this Appendix is the primary source of information for Project Applicants, Project Applicants should read the full YHDP NOFO in its entirety in conjunction with the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program interim rule (24 CFR part 578). All projects awarded through the YHDP must be administered in accordance with CoC Program requirements, except as otherwise provided in the YHDP NOFO including section I.A., this appendix, or as specifically authorized by HUD waiver. However, HUD will not waive any regulations pertaining to fair housing, civil rights, or environmental requirements. HUD strongly encourages Project Applicants to review Notices and HUD guidance provided in relation to the CoC Program. B. Overview of Application Process. 1. Community Selection Process. To be awarded projects under the YHDP, the community must have been selected by HUD to participate in the YHDP. See the main text of the YHDP NOFO for more information about how to apply to be a selected community. 2. Project Selection Process. All project applications must be submitted through e-snaps following the process outlined in this Appendix. C. Highlights. 1. Program Flexibility. YHDP projects may choose to take advantage of the special YHDP activities and other options listed at I.C.1. The following options would not meet CoC program requirements but may be used to carry out YHDP projects. As authorized by the FY 2021 Appropriations Act, projects that use these options (and other YHDP projects) can be renewed with available FY 2021 or prior FY funding for the CoC program. If similar authorization appears in future acts, projects that use these options (and other YHDP projects) could also be renewed with CoC program funding provided under those acts. As stated in I.C.9 of this Appendix, however, HUD will not renew any planning projects.

(6) YHDP recipients may employ youth who are receiving services, including housing, from the recipient organization. Recipients that utilize this special YHDP activity must maintain documentation that discloses the nature of work that the youth does, and that the youth is not in a position that creates a conflict of interest. (7) YHDP recipients may use habitability standards in 24 CFR 576.403(c) rather than Housing Quality Standards in 24 CFR 578.75 for short or medium term (up to 24 months) housing assistance. Recipients implementing this special YHDP activity must keep documentation of which standards are applied to the units and proof that the units complied with the standards before assistance is provided for every unit funded by YHDP. (8) YHDP recipients may provide moving expenses more than one-time to a program participant. (9) YHDP recipients may provide payments of up to $500 per month for families that provide housing under a host home and kinship care model in order to offset the increased costs associated with having youth housed in the unit.

(2) YHDP recipients may continue providing supportive services to program participants for up to 24 months after the program participant exits homelessness, transitional housing or after the end of housing assistance if the recipient demonstrates: 1) the proposed length of extended services to be provided; 2) the method it will use to determine whether services are still necessary; and 3) how those services will result in self-sufficiency and ensure stable housing for the YHDP program participant. YHDP recipients may continue providing supportive services to program participants for up to 36 months after the program participant exits homelessness, if the services are in connection with housing assistance, such as the Foster Youth to Independence initiative, or if the recipient can demonstrate that extended supportive services ensures continuity of case workers for program participants. (3) Recipients will not be required to meet the 25% match requirement if the applicant is able to show it has taken reasonable steps to maximize resources available for youth experiencing homelessness in the community. (4) Rental assistance may be combined with leasing or operating funds in the same building, provided that the recipient submits a project plan that includes safeguards to ensure that no part of the project would receive a double subsidy. (5) YHDP recipients may provide payments of up to $1000 per month for families that provide housing under a host home and kinship care model, provided that the recipient can show that the additional cost is necessary to recruit hosts to the program. (6) In addition to the specific activities authorized above or in 24 CFR part 578, other innovative activities to reduce youth homelessness may be carried out using YHDP funds, provided that the recipient can demonstrate that the activity meets the following criteria: Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 45 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!413 :/4/e a) The activity is supported by both the Youth Action Board and the Continuum of Care, as evidenced by letters of support from each organization; b) That activity will be testing or likely to achieve a positive outcome in at least one of the four core outcomes for youth experiencing homelessness (stable housing, permanent 1 connections, education/employment, and well-being); c) The activity is cost effective; and d) The activity is not in conflict with fair housing, civil rights, or environmental regulations. In order to receive any of the exceptions listed in I.C.1(b), Project Applicants must submit a request to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs at the time of or prior to the project application submission. Project Applicants (or recipients) may also request any of the exceptions listed in I.C.1(b) after projects are approved; however, the recipient cannot make use of the exception until notified that HUD has received and approved the request. In addition to HUD approval, if a grant amendment is required by 24 CFR 578.105, the recipient cannot make use of any requested exceptions until HUD has signed the grant amendment. Requests should be emailed to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs at youthdemo@hud.gov and, if made prior to or at the time of project application submission, the request should also be attached to the project application. Project applicants can obtain a copy of the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act (“the Act”) and 24 CFR part 578 on HUD.gov. 2. Coordinated Community Plan. HUD’s central requirement of the YHDP is that each selected community will develop a community plan to prevent and end youth homelessness. More information is provided in Appendix B of the YHDP NOFO on the community plan; however, for purposes of the project application, it is required that all projects submitted are consistent with the community plan. 3. CoC Involvement. In addition to the involvement described in the full text of the YHDP NOFO, as it relates particularly to the project applications, HUD requires each CoC to implement a thorough review and oversight process at the local level for project applications submitted to HUD as part of the YHDP for projects proposed in their geographic area. Youth receiving services or assistance, either previously or currently, from one or more YHDP project applicants may participate in YHDP project selection. HUD requires Collaborative Applicants or its designee to closely review information provided in each project application to ensure that: a. All proposed program participants will be eligible for the program component type selected; b. The proposed activities are eligible under 24 CFR part 578, except as otherwise stated in this Appendix; Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt 1 https://www.usich.gov/resources/uploads/asset_library/USICH_Youth_Framework__FINAL_02_13_131.pdf Page 46 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!414 :/4/e c. All proposed activities meet the criteria stated in II and III of this Appendix; d. Each project narrative is fully responsive to the question being asked and that it meets all the criteria for that question as required by the YHDP NOFO; e. The data provided in various parts of the project application are consistent and accurate; and f.All required attachments correspond to the attachments list in this Appendix, and the attachments contain accurate and complete information. 4. Youth Action Board Approval. It is important to HUD that youth, including homeless and formerly homeless youth, are involved in every step of the implementation of the YHDP at the local level, and it is for this reason that HUD is requiring selected communities to have a Youth Action Board. For purposes of the project applications, HUD requires that the Youth Action Board have an opportunity to review all project applications thoroughly and that any input will be implemented to the extent that it is feasible within statutory and regulatory guidelines. Youth receiving services or assistance, either previously or currently, from one or more YHDP project applicants may participate in YHDP project selection. Additionally, HUD requires that the Youth Action Board submit a letter of support for all projects submitted to HUD for review and consideration. 5. Serving Households Who Are Homeless Under Other Federal Laws. Project Applicants may request that up to 10 percent of the funding awarded to their selected community under this demonstration be approved to serve households with children and youth who do not meet paragraph 1, 2 or 4 of the homeless definition at 24 CFR 576.2 but are homeless under another Federal statute in paragraph 3 of the definition of homeless at 24 CFR 576.2. The decision to request to serve this population must be reflected and supported in the CCP and must show that the grant funds to serve such persons is an equal or greater priority than serving persons defined as homeless under paragraphs 1, 2, or 4 of the homeless definition. rd 6. Serving Households Who Lack 3 Party Documentation or Live in Unsafe Situations. Youth aged 24 and under must not be required to provide third-party documentation that they meet the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3 as a condition for receiving services funded under the YHDP NOFO. Additionally, any youth-serving provider funded under the YHDP NOFO may serve unaccompanied youth aged 24 and under and families headed by youth aged 24 and under who are living in unsafe situations. HUD interprets “youth-serving provider” as a private nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to provide services to youth aged 24 and under and families headed by youth aged 24 and under. HUD interprets “living in unsafe situations” as having an unsafe primary nighttime residence and no safe alternative to that residence. These requirements supersede any conflicting requirements under the YHDP NOFO, this appendix, the Act, or the CoC Program rule. 7. Project Types. Project Applicants can apply for all projects permitted under the CoC Program so long as the projects meet the threshold criteria in III of this Appendix. Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 47 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!415 :/4/e 8. Project geography: Planning grants may be used for planning activities, including developing the CCP, that extend to the entire geographic area of the CoC, even if the selected YHDP community does not cover the entire geographic area of the CoC. For all other projects funded by YHDP, funding must only be used to serve youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in the geographic area identified in the YHDP application. 9. Grant terms. Projects awarded under YHDP will have an initial term of 24-30 months unless extended. All grants besides planning may be renewed for a 1-year grant term under the CoC program as outlined in section I.C. of this Appendix. 10. Fair Market Rent (FMR). Funds awarded for rental assistance will be awarded using the most recent FMRs published at the time of each award. 11. Resubmitting Previously Rejected Projects. There is nothing in this Appendix that prohibits a Project Applicant from resubmitting a project application that has been previously rejected or not funded by HUD in the YHDP competition. However, the Project Applicant should carefully review the reasons that HUD rejected the project and make necessary revisions to ensure that the project passes the quality and threshold review, including that the project meets all requirements laid out in this appendix and the YHDP NOFO. Applicants must submit all project applications, including resubmitted project applications, by the application deadline (see Section VI.A. of this Appendix). D. Definitions and Concepts. The definitions contained in this section include terms that are important for all Project Applicants to understand in order to complete all parts of the Project Application in e-snaps. 1. Definitions from 24 CFR 578.3 a. Centralized or coordinated assessment system b. Collaborative applicant c. Continuum of Care d. Eligible applicant e. Homeless f.Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) g. Permanent Housing h. Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) i. Private Nonprofit Organization j.Recipient k. Subrecipient l. Transitional Housing Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 48 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!416 :/4/e m.Unified Funding Agency (UFA) 2. YHDP Project Selection Process Definitions. The following terms are not found in 24 CFR part 578 but are used in this YHDP NOFO and Appendix to define concepts that specifically apply to the project selection process for the YHDP. a. Coordinated community plan. The plan developed by a selected community includes the components outlined in Appendix B and addresses the issues identified in Section III.F.b. of the YHDP NOFO. b. Congregate Living. Independent living in separate rooms or units, with opportunities to share activities of daily living with other residents, as one chooses. c. Crisis Residential Transitional Housing. A form of transitional housing that is short-term, low-barrier, utilizes a congregate living setting, and provides access to the following supportive services in particular: family engagement and unification, case management, emergency triage services and other supportive services whose purpose is to move youth rapidly into stable housing. d. Host Home and Kinship Care. A model in which a family agrees to permit a youth to reside with them. Recognizing that the addition of another person in the home may increase costs to the family, HUD will entertain applications that propose to house youth with families and to subsidize the additional costs attributable to housing the youth. The residence is in a community-based setting. The family could be related to the youth and the length of stay may be time-limited or without time limits. e. Housing First. A model of housing assistance that prioritizes rapid placement and stabilization in permanent housing that does not have service participation requirements or preconditions (such as sobriety or a minimum income threshold). Transitional housing and supportive service only projects can be considered to be using a Housing First model for the purposes of this NOFO if they operate with low-barriers, work to quickly move people into permanent housing, do not require participation in supportive services, and, for transitional housing projects, do not require any preconditions for moving into the transitional housing (e.g., sobriety or minimum income threshold). f.Joint TH and PH-RRH Component Project. The Joint TH and PH-RRH component project combines two existing program components–transitional housing and permanent housing-rapid rehousing–in a single project to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness. g. Positive Youth Development (PYD) Model. Defined by the Federal Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs as an intentional, pro-social approach that engages youth in a manner that is productive and constructive; recognizes, utilizes, and enhances youths’ strengths; and promotes positive outcomes for young people by providing opportunities, fostering positive Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 49 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!417 :/4/e relationships and furnishing the support needed to build on their leadership strengths. PYD programs are generally focused on the following six youth outcomes: Confidence; Character; Connection; Competence; Caring; and Contribution. See the page entitled “Positive Youth Development” at: http://youth.gov/youth-topics/positive-youth-development. h. Program Participant. A person assisted under a YHDP project. i. Project. A group of eligible activities, identified as a project in an application to HUD for YHDP funds and includes a structure (or structures) that is (are) acquired, rehabilitated, constructed, or leased with assistance provided under this part or with respect to which HUD provides rental assistance or annual payments for operating costs, or supportive services. j.Selected Community. A community that is selected by HUD to participate in the YHDP. k. Shared Housing. A model of housing assistance where rental assistance is provided for a youth to reside with a family or another unrelated person. The youth leases from the property owner and shares the unit with the family or unrelated person. The unit may be a house or an apartment. YHDP rental assistance cannot be provided to a youth to reside in a unit occupied by an immediate family member. For this Demonstration “immediate family member” is defined to mean parents, grandparents, and legal guardians. YHDP rental assistance cannot be provided to a youth in a shared housing unit if the landlord is an immediate family member of the youth. YHDP rental assistance may only be provided to a youth if the youth can enter into a valid, binding, and enforceable lease under applicable state or local law. This includes a legally appointed guardian executing a lease on behalf of a youth or an emancipated youth entering into a lease. l. Trauma Informed Care (TIC) Model. An approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery, recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system, responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization. TIC models generally include a focus on the following: Safety; Trustworthiness and Transparency; Peer Support; Collaboration and Mutuality; Empowerment; Voice and Choice; and Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues. II. Eligibility Information Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 50 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!418 :/4/e A. Eligible Applicants. Eligible Applicants for YHDP project funding (Project Applicants) are outlined in section III.A of the YHDP NOFO. To be considered for funding, Project Applicants must complete the information required by HUD, receive the approval of the YAB for their project(s) through a letter of support, and receive the approval of the CoC to apply for funding, as indicated by a letter of support from the Collaborative Applicant or its designee. All subrecipients must also meet the eligibility standards as described above. HUD will review project subrecipient eligibility as part of the threshold review process. Project Applicants are required to submit documentation of their subrecipients’ eligibility with the application. Collaborative Applicants that are not UFAs may designate an Eligible Applicant to apply for and be the recipient of a planning grant. UFAs must apply for and be the recipient of all grants for their Community. For a dedicated HMIS grant, the application must either be from the UFA (when there is a UFA for the Community) or the HMIS Lead (when there is no UFA for the Community) that will be the grant recipient. B. Matching. Provisions at 24 CFR 578.73 apply to grants unless the recipient receives approval for build-in exception outlined at I.C.1.b.3. C. Program Income. The recipient may choose to use program income as a source of match. If program income is used as a source of match, the project applicant must describe this in the project application. D. Other Project Eligibility Requirements 1. Grant Terms. All grants for projects will be for an initial 2-year grant term, unless the applicant requests an initial grant term of up to 30-month. The grant term may be extended consistent with 2 CFR 200.308 and 2 CFR 200.309. 2. Eligible Program Participants. a. Funds awarded under the YHDP must only be used to serve youth aged 24 or younger, including unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth, including as necessary to reunite youth aged 24 or younger with family members; and b. All youth must initially qualify as homeless under paragraph (1), (2), or (4) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3, except as stated in I.C.5 and I.C.6 of this Appendix. 3. Eligible Components and Costs. Since the purpose of the YHDP is to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth can dramatically reduce homelessness, HUD will also allow selected communities to apply for projects that are not eligible through the CoC Program Competition in order to implement their CCP to prevent and end youth homelessness consistent with the requirements in I.C.1 of this Appendix or as specifically authorized by HUD waiver. The project application must demonstrate to HUD’s satisfaction why the program design should Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 51 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!419 :/4/e be tested. All projects funded under YHDP are subject to requirements outlined in section I of this Appendix, including the requirement in I.C.1 for projects taking advantage of the special YHDP activities and other options listed there. In addition to grants for Planning projects, Project Applicants may apply for the following new projects: a. Eligible costs listed in 24 CFR 578.43 through 578.63 when used to establish and operate projects under the following program components established at 24 CFR 578.37: (1) Permanent housing, including PSH and RRH (2) Transitional housing, including Crisis Residential transitional housing (3) HMIS (4) Supportive Service Only (SSO), including, but not limited to, projects dedicated to coordinated entry, housing search and placement services, case management, drop-in centers, legal services, or street outreach; In addition to funding projects that use these components, Collaborative Applicants may apply for Joint TH and PH-RRH component projects. b. Projects or activities that are fundable under the Demonstration include: (1) Host Homes and Kinship care. YHDP funds may be used to subsidize the increased costs to the family that are attributable to housing the youth. An example of eligible costs would be additional food or transportation costs, which are eligible supportive services under 24 CFR 578.53(e)(7) or 24 CFR 578.53(e)(15). The project application must describe how the costs will be determined by the project applicant. (2) Shared housing. YHDP funds may be used to provide tenant-based rental assistance for a youth to reside with a family or another unrelated person. All CoC requirements that apply to rental assistance would apply to rental assistance provided in shared housing. These requirements include the following: i. There must be a rental assistance agreement between the recipient or the subrecipient and the owner; ii. The housing meets CoC housing quality standards, or habitability standards if permitted under I.C.1.a.7 of this appendix; iii. The rental assistance is provided in accordance with applicable written standards; Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 52 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!41: :/4/e iv. Rental assistance is not provided to a program participant who is receiving project-based rental assistance or operating assistance, through other public sources; and v. The shared housing must meet the rent reasonableness standards. FMR will be adjusted to the youth’s pro-rata share of the FMR for the shared housing unit size. For example, in the case of a single youth who will occupy one bedroom in a 4-bedroom house, the FMR used would be the youth’s pro- rata share of the 4-bedroom FMR (i.e. ¼ of the 4-bedroom FMR). 4. Environmental Requirements. Notwithstanding provisions at 24 CFR 578.31 and 24 CFR 578.99(a) of the CoC Program interim rule, and in accordance with Section 100261(3) of MAP-21 (Pub. L. 112-141, 126 Stat. 405), activities under the YHPD NOFO are subject to environmental review by a responsible entity under HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58. a. Additionally, HUD has clarified two requirements for projects categorized as Categorically Excluded from review under the National Environmental Policy Act and not subject to the laws and authorities at 58.5 (CENST): i. All scattered-site projects, where participants choose their own unit and are not restricted to units within a pre-determined specific project site or sites, are categorized in 24 CFR 58.35(b)(1) as CENST. This includes both tenant-based rental assistance and scattered-site leasing projects where the program participant chooses their unit. Previous guidance included only tenant-based rental assistance as eligible CENST projects. ii. The exempt or CENST format is only required for each project, not each unit. Previous guidance instructed recipients to complete and exemption or CENST form for each unit. b. For activities under a grant to a Project Grant Recipient other than a responsible entity (a State, Tribe, or unit of general local government) that generally would be subject to review under part 58, HUD may make a finding in accordance with 24 CFR 58.11(d) and may itself perform the environmental review under the provisions of 24 CFR part 50 if the Project Grant Recipient objects in writing to the responsible entity’s performing the review under 24 CFR part 58. c. Irrespective of whether the responsible entity, in accordance with 24 CFR part 58, or HUD, in accordance with 24 CFR part 50, performs the environmental review, the Project Grant Recipient must supply all available, relevant information necessary for the responsible entity (or HUD, if applicable) to perform for each property any required environmental review. The Project Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 53 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!421 :/4/e Grant Recipient also must carry out mitigating measures required by the responsible entity (or HUD, if applicable) or select alternative property. d. The Project Grant Recipient, its project partners, and their contractors are prohibited from acquiring, rehabilitating, converting, leasing, repairing, disposing of, demolishing, or constructing property for a project under the YHPD NOFO, or committing or expending HUD or local funds for such eligible activities under this NOFO, until the responsible entity (as defined by 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7)) has completed the environmental review procedures required by 24 CFR part 58 and the environmental certification and Request for Release of Funds (RROF) have been approved, if applicable, or HUD has performed an environmental review under 24 CFR part 50 and the Project Grant Recipient has received HUD approval of the property. HUD will not release grant funds if the recipient or any other party commits grant funds (i.e., incurs any costs or expenditures to be paid or reimbursed with such funds) before the recipient submits and HUD approves its RROF, where such submission is required. III. Threshold Criteria. HUD will only select projects for funding that pass the following threshold criteria. If a project does not originally pass threshold criteria and is rejected by HUD, the Project Applicant may resubmit the project application to HUD; however, the Project Applicant and the selected community should review the project carefully prior to resubmitting and address all deficiencies. A. Ineligible Applicants. HUD will not consider an application from an ineligible Project Applicant. All project applications for grants, including planning grants, in communities with a UFA must be from the UFA. For a dedicated HMIS grant, the application must either be from the UFA (when there is a UFA for the Community) or the HMIS Lead (when there is no UFA for the Community) that will be the grant recipient. B. DUNS Number Requirement. All Project Applicants seeking funding under the YHDP NOFO must have a DUNS number and include the number in the Standard Form 424 (SF- 424). The SF-424 must be submitted along with the project application in e-snaps. C. Active Registration in SAM. All Project Applicants seeking funding under the YHDP NOFO must have an active SAM registration. HUD will not issue a grant agreement for awarded funds to a Project Applicant until it verifies that its SAM registration is active. D. Project Eligibility Threshold. HUD will review all projects to determine if they meet the following eligibility threshold requirements on a pass/fail standard. If HUD determines that the applicable standards are not met for a project, the project will be rejected. However, there is nothing to prohibit a project that has been rejected from addressing the deficient project application and resubmitting it to HUD, with the approval of the Collaborative Applicant or its designee, for consideration. HUD requires that the Youth Action Board, and Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt the Collaborative Applicant or its designee, submit updated letters of support for all projects Page 54 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!422 :/4/e submitted to HUD, including those resubmitted after rejection. A determination that a project meets the project eligibility threshold is not a determination by HUD that a recipient is in compliance with applicable fair housing and civil rights requirements. 1. Project Applicants and potential subrecipients must meet the criteria for Eligible Applicants outlined in section III.A of the YHDP NOFO and provide evidence of eligibility required in the project application (e.g., nonprofit documentation). 2. Project Applicants and subrecipients must demonstrate the financial and management capacity and experience to carry out the project as detailed in the project application and to administer Federal funds. Demonstrating capacity may include a description of the Project Applicant or subrecipients experience with similar projects and with successful administration of CoC Program funds or other Federal funds. 3. The population to be served must meet the criteria for “Eligible Program Participants” in II.D.2 of this appendix. 4. The project must be cost effective, including costs of construction, operations, and supportive services with such costs not deviating substantially from the norm in that locale for the type of structure or kind of activity. 5. Project Applicants, for anything other than SSO grants for coordinated entry and for Planning costs, must agree to participate in a local HMIS system. However, in accordance with Section 407 of the Act, any victim service provider that is a recipient or subrecipient must not disclose, for purposes of HMIS, any personally identifying information about any client. Victim service providers must use a comparable database. 6. Dedicated HMIS grants may only be used for recipient costs of implementing or expanding youth specific HMIS system components (e.g., adding youth-specific data standards, evaluating this program, or to develop YHDP specific reports) or to add youth organizations to the HMIS. 7. SSO grants specifically for coordinated entry process may only be used to implement the youth specific component of a community’s coordinated entry process. 8. Grants for planning funds may only be used for the costs of activities that are described in 24 CFR 578.39 and are specific to preventing and ending youth homelessness (e.g., developing youth specific guidance for the 2021 PIT Count or developing the Youth Action Board). 9. Projects providing supportive services or housing assistance to program participants must incorporate Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Trauma Informed Care (TIC) models of housing and service delivery. E. Project Quality Threshold. HUD will review all project applications to determine if they meet the following project quality threshold requirements. As specified below, not all the criteria in paragraphs E.2 through E.6 must be shown for conditional selection of a project. If awarded, however, each project must meet all the criteria that applies to its project type. A determination that a project meets the project quality threshold is not a determination by Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt HUD that a recipient is in compliance with applicable fair housing and civil rights Page 55 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!423 :/4/e requirements. HUD will reject projects that do not meet the minimum point requirements described in this section. 1. All projects must meet the following criteria related to project eligibility, capacity, timeliness, and performance: a. Project Applicants and potential subrecipients must have satisfactory capacity, drawdowns, and performance for any existing grant(s), as applicable, that are funded under the CoC Program, as evidenced by timely reimbursement of subrecipients (as applicable), quarterly drawdowns, and timely resolution of monitoring findings; and b. Project Applicants must demonstrate that they will be able to meet all timeliness standards established at 24 CFR 578.85. 2. Joint transitional housing-rapid rehousing (TH-RRH) projects must meet the 7 criteria below if awarded YHDP funds but will pass threshold if they receive at least 5 out of the 7 points available. All other housing projects (i.e., permanent housing, transitional housing) must meet the first 5 criteria below if awarded YHDP funds but will pass threshold if they receive at least 3 out of the 5 points for those criteria. a. The type, scale, and location of the housing fits the needs of the program participants (1 point); b. The type and scale of the supportive services fits the needs of the program participants–this includes all supportive services regardless of funding source (1 point); c. The proposed project has a specific plan to coordinate and integrate with other mainstream health, social services, and employment programs and ensure that program participants are assisted to obtain benefits from the mainstream programs for which they may be eligible (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, Food Stamps, local Workforce office, early childhood education)(1 point); d. Program participants are assisted to obtain and remain in housing in a manner that fits their needs (1 point); e. 100 percent of the proposed program participants meet the criteria for “Eligible Program Participants” in II.D.2 of this appendix (1 point); f. The proposed project has enough rapid re-housing slots to ensure that at any given time a program participant may move from transitional housing to permanent housing. This may be demonstrated by identifying a budget that has twice as many resources for the rapid re-housing portion of the project than the TH portion, by having twice as many RRH units at a point in time as TH units, or by demonstrating that the budget and units are appropriate for the population being served by the project (1 point; only for TH-RRH projects); and Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 56 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!424 :/4/e g. The project uses a Housing First approach (1 point; only for TH-RRH projects). 3. SSO projects–except for SSO projects specifically for coordinated entry–must meet the following three criteria if awarded YHDP funds but will pass threshold if they receive at least 2 out of the 3 points available. a. The type, scale, and location of the supportive services fit the needs of program participants (1 point); b.

SF-LLL, Disclosure of Lobbying of Activities (if applicable); c. Applicant Code of Conduct. The Code must be attached in e-snaps or on file with HUD at https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/spm/gmomgmt/grantsinfo/conductgrant s ; d. Form HUD-50070, Certification for a Drug-Free Workplace dated no earlier than January 1, 2019; YHDP project applicants are not required to submit Form HUD 2991 Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan. VI. Submission Dates and Times A. Application Period. The application period begins for planning projects on the date HUD announces selection of the community for YHDP funding and for all other projects on the date HUD approves the selected community’s CCP. The application period ends at 11:59 PM EDT, July 1, 2023 for Project Applicants within communities selected to receive funding. HUD will reject any projects that are submitted outside the application period. B. Exporting Project Application for Applicant Records. HUD strongly encourages Project Applicants to use the “Export to PDF” functionality of e-snaps to print a hard copy of all submission documents for their records. This can be completed prior to or after submission. VII. Other Submission Requirements Waiver of Electronic Submission Requirements. A. The regulatory framework of HUD’s electronic submission requirement is the final rule established in 24 CFR 5.1005. Project Applicants seeking a waiver of the electronic submission requirement must request a waiver in accordance with 24 CFR 5.1005. HUD regulations allow for a waiver of the electronic submission requirement for good cause. Similar to the CoC Program Competition, HUD is defining good cause for the YHDP Competition as follows: 1. there are no computers that could be used by the Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant that are newer than 5 years old anywhere within the selected community’s geographic area; or 2. there are no computers that could be used by Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant anywhere within the selected community’s geographic area; or 3. there is no internet access that could be used by Project Applicants or the Collaborative Applicant anywhere within the selected community’s geographic area. B. To request a waiver of HUD’s electronic submission requirement, the Collaborative Applicant should address written notification to Norm Suchar, Director, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs (SNAPs), and submit the request to YouthDemo@hud.gov. Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 61 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!429 :/4/e C. If HUD grants the waiver, its response will include instructions on how and where the paper project application must be submitted. HUD will not extend the application deadline for Project Applicants that are granted a waiver of the electronic submission requirement. Therefore, Project Applicants seeking a waiver of the electronic submission requirement should submit their waiver request with sufficient time to allow HUD to process and respond to the request. For this reason, HUD strongly recommends that if a Project Applicant finds it cannot submit its project application electronically and must seek a waiver of the electronic grant submission requirement, it should submit the waiver request to SNAPs at YouthDemo@hud.gov no later than 30 days after the opening of the project application portion of the competition. To expedite the receipt and review of each request, Project Applicants may fax their written requests to Norm Suchar, at (202) 401-0053. If HUD does not have sufficient time to process the waiver request, HUD will not grant a waiver. Finally, HUD will not consider paper applications received without a prior approved waiver or after the established deadline. VIII. Award Administration Information A. Award Notices 1. Conditional Selection. HUD will notify conditionally selected Project Applicants in writing. HUD may subsequently request conditionally selected applicants to submit additional project information–which may include documentation to show the project is financially feasible; documentation of firm commitments for match; documentation showing community control; information necessary for HUD to perform an environmental review, where HUD determines to conduct the environmental review in accordance with 24 CFR 58.11(d); a copy of the organization’s Code of Conduct; and such other documentation as specified by HUD in writing to the Project Applicant, that confirms or clarifies information provided in the project application. HUD will require the submission of the additional project information no later than 30 days after the date of the letter for such information, except as otherwise provided in 24 CFR 578.21(c). In the event that a community must withdraw from the demonstration, HUD will reallocate the remaining balance to the other selected communities or to alternative communities if appropriate communities can be identified and sufficient funds are available. B. Administrative and National Policy Requirements Participation in a HUD-Sponsored Program Evaluation. As a condition of the receipt of an award funded under the YHDP NOFO, all recipients will be required to cooperate with all HUD staff, contractors, or selected recipients performing research or evaluation studies funded by HUD. C. Reporting 1. In accordance with program regulations at 24 CFR 578.103, Project Applicants must maintain records and within the time frame required, make any reports that HUD may require, including those pertaining to race, color, national origin, religion, familial status, sex, and disability. Recipients may report this data as part of their APR Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt submission to HUD. Also, recipients who expend $750,000 or more in 1 year in Page 62 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!42: :/4/e Federal awards are reminded they must have a single or program-specific audit for that year in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR part 200, subpart F. 2. Section 3 Reporting Regulations. In accordance with 24 CFR 135.3(a)(2), the Section 3 requirements apply to housing and community development assistance that is used for housing rehabilitation, housing construction and other public constructions. Recipients of YHDP project funds must submit Form HUD-60002 to the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), if applicable, at the time they submit their APR to the Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs. This form must be completed electronically at www.hud.gov/section3. 3. Award notices may also include requirements for sub-award reporting in compliance with the requirements of the Federal Financial Assistance Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109-282) (Transparency Act). 4. Agency Contacts. HUD staff will be available to provide general clarification on the content of the YHDP NOFO. Until HUD has selected the selected communities that will be participating in the YHDP, HUD staff is prohibited from assisting any Project Applicant in preparing the project application(s). However, once the selected communities have been selected by HUD, HUD staff and technical assistance providers may assist Project Applicants in preparing their project application(s) in e- snaps. A. Assigned Technical Assistance Provider. Each selected community will be assigned technical assistance providers. Communities and Project Applicants should use their assigned technical assistance provider to advise them how to design and implement the CCP as well as to design and implement projects that support the CCP. B. Training and Resources. Project Applicants that need assistance completing the applications or understanding the program requirements under the YHDP NOFO may access training materials developed by technical assistance providers at www.hudexchange.info/homelessness-assistance/. For program resources please visit HUD.gov. C. Technical Support. All potential Project Applicants that require information and technical support concerning the YHDP NOFO and the project applications may submit questions to HUD at \[youthdemo@hud.gov\]. Technical support will be made equally available to all potential Project Applicants.

Under this Notice of Funding Availability, HUD is making approximately $72 million available in FY 2021 funds to implement projects to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and under, in up to 25 communities with a priority for communities with substantial rural populations in up to eight locations, can dramatically reduce youth homelessness. The purpose of these funds is to demonstrate how a coordinated community approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and younger, can dramatically reduce homelessness. I. Required Coordinated Community Plan Components A. Statement of need: A statement of need concerning at risk, homeless, and unsheltered unaccompanied and pregnant or parenting youth in the geographic area. This statement of need must include data on special populations including race, gender, sexual identity, and sexual orientation; B.Stakeholders: A list of partners, and a description of their involvement that includes representation from a number of stakeholder groups: o Youth Action Board o Public Child Welfare Agencies o CoC and ESG Program Recipients o Local and State Government o Tribal governments and/or Tribally Designated Housing Entities o Runaway and Homeless Youth Program Providers o Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse Agencies o Juvenile and Adult Corrections and Probation o Local and State Law Enforcement and Judges o HIV/AIDS serving organizations o Public Housing Authorities o Affordable Housing Providers o Early Childhood Development and Child Care Providers o Local and State Educational Agencies o Institutions of Higher Education o Non-Profit Youth Organizations o Landlords o Privately Funded Homeless Organizations o Local Advocacy, Research, and Philanthropic Organizations o Community Development Corporations o Organizations that are led by or serve culturally specific (Black, Latino, Indigenous, people with disabilities, LGBTQ, etc) communities C.Information and descriptions of each of the following plan components: o A shared mission, vision, list of goals, objectives, and actions steps, including which partners are responsible for each action step; Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 64 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!432 :/4/e o A list of new projects, to be funded by HUD and other sources that will support the implementation of the coordinated community plan; To receive funding for a project under this NOFO, communities must demonstrate that the degree to which a project improves the CoC’s system performance is a factor in how CoCs’ evaluate and rank YHDP project applications. The CCP must describe how the community will meet this requirement. o A governance structure, including an organizational chart and decision-making process. This chart must indicate how decisions are made and the decision- making power of the YAB; o A signature page that includes the signatures of official representatives of at least the following systems: The Continuum of Care Public Child Welfare Agency Local Government Agency Tribal Government (if any) Youth Action Board Runaway and Homeless Youth Providers (if any) II.Principles to be addressed in the Coordinated Community Plan: HUD expects the following principles to be integrated in the Coordinated Community Plan, such as in the action steps or the project listings: U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) Youth Framework and the Four Core Outcomes. USICH coordinates the federal response to homelessness and creating a national partnership at every level of government and with the private sector to reduce and end homelessness. The coordinated community plan must demonstrate a commitment to the principles of the USICH Youth Framework to End Youth Homelessness published in 2012 and to its four core outcomes: o Stable housing includes a safe and reliable place to call home; o Permanent connections include ongoing attachments to families, communities, schools, and other positive social networks; o Education/employment includes high performance in and completion of educational and training activities, especially for younger youth, and starting and maintaining adequate and stable employment, particularly for older youth; and o Social-emotional well-being includes the development of key competencies, attitudes, and behaviors that equip a young person to succeed across multiple domains of daily life, including school, work, relationships, and community; and Special Populations. USICH, in partnership with its member agencies, has identified several special populations of youth experiencing homelessness that are particularly vulnerable in how they experience homelessness, as well as their pathways in and out of Buubdinfou;!Zpvui!Ipnfmftt!Efnpotusbujpo!Qsphsbn!)ZIEQ*!Hsbou!Dsjufsjb!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt Page 65 of 68 Qbdlfu!Qh/!433 :/4/e homelessness, in ways that are distinct from the general population of youth. For these particularly vulnerable and often overrepresented young people, there is a need for identification and engagement strategies, infrastructure considerations, and housing and service-delivery approaches that are responsive to their specific needs. The coordinated community plan must identify and address the local impact of homelessness on these special populations and address how the community will meet the needs of youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ); youth who are gender-non-conforming; minors (under the age of 18); youth involved with juvenile justice and child welfare systems; victims of sexual trafficking and exploitation; and youth with co-occurring diagnosis, including mental health, substance abuse, HIV-AIDS and other communicable diseases; and Equity: Research has found significant racial and ethnic disparities in rates of 2 homelessness. Specifically, Black, Indigenous, Hispanic (non-white), and LGBTQ youth experience homelessness at disproportionately higher rates. Community efforts to prevent and end homelessness should consider and address racial inequities to successfully achieve positive outcomes for all persons experiencing homelessness. The coordinated community plan must address how the community is measuring and considering racial inequities and other disparities in the risks for, and experiences of homelessness in the community, consistent with fair housing and civil rights requirements. This includes identifying barriers that led to any disparities in subpopulations being served and taking steps to eliminate these barriers in the community’s youth homeless response system. ; and 34 Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Trauma Informed Care (TIC). Both PYD and TIC are accepted best practices in housing and service delivery for youth and include principles and service frameworks. The coordinated community plan must address how PYD and TIC will be incorporated into all aspects of the youth crisis response system, including at the system and project levels; and Family engagement. HUD believes that the best diversion and intervention strategy is to engage families, whenever appropriate, through community partnerships with organizations such as child welfare agencies, schools, youth providers, and other community human services and homeless services providers. The coordinated community plan must address family engagement strategies and services designed to strengthen, stabilize, and reunify families. Potential services include family counseling, conflict resolution, parenting supports, relative or kinship caregiver resources, targeted substance abuse and mental health treatment, etc.; and Housing First: Housing is a cornerstone for meeting a multitude of basic needs necessary for success. Young people should be provided with rapid access to safe, secure, and stable housing that meets their needs as quickly as possible, without the condition that 2 Fusaro, V.A., Levy, H.G., Shaefer, H.L. (2018). Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Lifetime Prevalence of Homelessness in the United States.

The coordinated community plan must address how all youth will be offered immediate access to safe, secure, and stable housing with no preconditions; and Unsheltered homelessness: HUD estimates that 50% of youth experiencing homelessness 5 are unsheltered. The coordinated community plan must address how the projects will address and decrease unsheltered youth homelessness in the community. Youth choice: The capacity for self-determination may be a critical factor in obtaining 6 many positive outcomes for Transition Age Youth, and is closely related to the principles of PYD. Consistent with federal youth policy, allowing youth to exercise self- determination is a youth centered approach that values youths’ expressed needs, self- awareness, and community knowledge. This youth centered approach emphasizes youth choice in terms of the kind of housing youth need and the extent and nature of supports and services they access and presents alternative options for youth who avoid programs with barriers like sobriety or abstinence. The coordinated community plan must address how youth choice will be integrated into all aspects of the youth crisis response system; and Individualized and client-driven supports: The coordinated community plan must acknowledge that the needs of the young people to be served will be unique. Housing and support packages that help prevent and end homelessness among youth must recognize and respond to individual differences across individuals to serve them appropriately and efficiently. Communities must design the system flexibly to accommodate individuals with both high and low service needs, as well as the need for short-term or long-term supports. The coordinated community plan must address how the youth crisis response system will provide individualized and client-driven supports; and Social and community integration: The goal of youth homelessness services should be a successful transition to adulthood, including the successful integration into a community as a positive contributing community member. To accomplish this requires the community to provide socially supportive engagement and the opportunity for youth to participate in meaningful community activities; and Coordinated entry: Coordinated entry processes are necessary components of a high functioning crisis response system and must be developed intentionally to incorporate youth. The coordinated community plan must address how the CoC will ensure that the coordinated entry process is youth-appropriate. III. Plan Submission, HUD Review, and Release of Full Funding The coordinated community plan must be submitted electronically to YouthDemo@hud.gov according to the following deadlines. Communities will have a total of 6 months to submit a coordinated community plan after announcement of the selected communities. Communities may request up to a 3 month extension of this deadline. HUD will review each plan and provide feedback within 2 weeks of submission. HUD reserves the right to reject a plan and 5 https://www.hud.gov/2019-point-in-time-estimates-of-homelessness-in-US 6 Carter, E. W., Lane, K. L., Pierson, M. R., & Stang, K. K. (2008).

The coordinated community plan must demonstrate a commitment to the principles of the USICH Youth Framework to End Youth Homelessness published in 2012 and to its four core outcomes: o Stable housing includes a safe and reliable place to call home; o Permanent connections include ongoing attachments to families, communities, schools, and other positive social networks; o Education/employment includes high performance in and completion of educational and training activities, especially for younger youth, and starting and maintaining adequate and stable employment, particularly for older youth; and o Social-emotional well-being includes the development of key competencies, attitudes, and behaviors that equip a young person to succeed across multiple domains of daily life, including school, work, relationships, and community; and Special Populations. USICH, in partnership with its member agencies, has identified several special populations of youth experiencing homelessness that are particularly vulnerable in how they experience homelessness, as well as their pathways in and out of homelessness, in ways that are distinct from the general population of youth. For these Buubdinfou;!Bqqfoejy!C!Sfrvjsfnfout!pg!uif!Dppsejobufe!Dpnnvojuz!Qmbo!!):534!;!Sftpmvujpo!Tvqqpsujoh!Zpvui!Ipnfmfttoftt!Efnpotusbujpo Qbdlfu!Qh/!438 :/4/f particularly vulnerable and often overrepresented young people, there is a need for identification and engagement strategies, infrastructure considerations, and housing and service-delivery approaches that are responsive to their specific needs. The coordinated community plan must identify and address the local impact of homelessness on these special populations and address how the community will meet the needs of youth who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ); youth who are gender-non-conforming; minors (under the age of 18); youth involved with juvenile justice and child welfare systems; victims of sexual trafficking and exploitation; and youth with co-occurring diagnosis, including mental health, substance abuse, HIV-AIDS and other communicable diseases; and Equity: Research has found significant racial and ethnic disparities in rates of 1 homelessness. Specifically, Black, Indigenous, Hispanic (non-white), and LGBTQ youth experience homelessness at disproportionately higher rates. Community efforts to prevent and end homelessness should consider and address racial inequities to successfully achieve positive outcomes for all persons experiencing homelessness. The coordinated community plan must address how the community is measuring and considering racial inequities and other disparities in the risks for, and experiences of homelessness in the community, consistent with fair housing and civil rights requirements. This includes identifying barriers that led to any disparities in subpopulations being served and taking ; and 23 Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Trauma Informed Care (TIC). Both PYD and TIC are accepted best practices in housing and service delivery for youth and include principles and service frameworks. The coordinated community plan must address how PYD and TIC will be incorporated into all aspects of the youth crisis response system, including at the system and project levels; and Family engagement. HUD believes that the best diversion and intervention strategy is to engage families, whenever appropriate, through community partnerships with organizations such as child welfare agencies, schools, youth providers, and other community human services and homeless services providers. The coordinated community plan must address family engagement strategies and services designed to strengthen, stabilize, and reunify families. Potential services include family counseling, conflict resolution, parenting supports, relative or kinship caregiver resources, targeted substance abuse and mental health treatment, etc.; and Housing First: Housing is a cornerstone for meeting a multitude of basic needs necessary for success. Young people should be provided with rapid access to safe, secure, and stable housing that meets their needs as quickly as possible, without the condition that must address how all 1 Fusaro, V.A., Levy, H.G., Shaefer, H.L.

The coordinated community plan must address how the projects will address and decrease unsheltered youth homelessness in the community. Youth choice: The capacity for self-determination may be a critical factor in obtaining 5 many positive outcomes for Transition Age Youth, and is closely related to the principles of PYD. Consistent with federal youth policy, allowing youth to exercise self- - awareness, and community knowledge. This youth centered approach emphasizes youth choice in terms of the kind of housing youth need and the extent and nature of supports and services they access and presents alternative options for youth who avoid programs with barriers like sobriety or abstinence. The coordinated community plan must address how youth choice will be integrated into all aspects of the youth crisis response system; and Individualized and client-driven supports: The coordinated community plan must acknowledge that the needs of the young people to be served will be unique. Housing and support packages that help prevent and end homelessness among youth must recognize and respond to individual differences across individuals to serve them appropriately and efficiently. Communities must design the system flexibly to accommodate individuals with both high and low service needs, as well as the need for short-term or long-term supports. The coordinated community plan must address how the youth crisis response system will provide individualized and client-driven supports; and Social and community integration: The goal of youth homelessness services should be a successful transition to adulthood, including the successful integration into a community as a positive contributing community member. To accomplish this requires the community to provide socially supportive engagement and the opportunity for youth to participate in meaningful community activities; and Coordinated entry: Coordinated entry processes are necessary components of a high functioning crisis response system and must be developed intentionally to incorporate youth. The coordinated community plan must address how the CoC will ensure that the coordinated entry process is youth-appropriate. III. Plan Submission, HUD Review, and Release of Full Funding The coordinated community plan must be submitted electronically to YouthDemo@hud.gov according to the following deadlines. Communities will have a total of 6 months to submit a coordinated community plan after announcement of the selected communities. Communities may request up to a 3 month extension of this deadline. HUD will review each plan and provide feedback within 2 weeks of submission. HUD reserves the right to reject a plan and require resubmission if the plan does not meet the requirements described above.
