A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Youth Homelessness Demonstration 
Program (YHDP).
    OMB Control Number: 2506-0210.
    Type of Request: Renewal of previously approved collection.
    Form Number: Youth Homelessness Demonstration Application (all 
parts), SF 424, HUD-2991, HUD-2993, HUD-2880, and SF-LLL, HUD-50070.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
appropriation for the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) 
was made available through the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 
(Pub. L. 114-113, approved December 18, 2015), ``the Act''. The Act 
appropriated $33,000,000 to HUD ``to implement projects to demonstrate 
how a comprehensive approach to serving homeless youth, age 24 and 
under, in up to 10 communities, including at least four rural 
communities, can dramatically reduce youth homelessness,'' $5 million 
to HUD ``to provide technical assistance on youth homelessness, and 
collection, analysis, and reporting of data and performance measures 
under the comprehensive approaches to serve homeless youth, in addition 
to and in coordination with other technical assistance funds provided 
under this title,'' and a further $2.5 million to HUD ``for homeless 
youth program evaluations conducted in partnership with the Department 
of Health and Human Services.'' Through this NOFA, HUD is holding a 
competition in order to identify those 10 communities that will make 
best use of the congressionally appropriated funds and provide HUD with 
the best opportunity to meet the YHDP objectives. Without asking for 
this information, HUD will be unable to meet the congressional mandate 
within the Act. Once communities have been selected, HUD must collect 
individual grant applications to meet the Act requirement that YHDP 
projects be renewable under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program 
authorized by the McKinney-Vento Act, as amended by S. 896 The Homeless 
Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 
2009 (42 U.S.C. 11371 et seq.) and the CoC Program Homeless Assistance 
Grant Application requirements (OMB 2506-0112). Finally, HUD must 
collect the Coordinated Community Plan to meet the appropriations 
requirement ``to demonstrate how a comprehensive approach to serving 
homeless youth . . . can dramatically reduce youth homelessness.'' In 
HUD's experience leading similar coordinated community efforts (e.g. 
LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention Pilot, OMB 2506-0204), the planning 
process is a challenging and resource intensive endeavor, requiring 
systems analysis, values sharing, priority negotiating, the creation of 
leadership structure, the development of a logic model, and a plan for 
constant feedback and continuous process improvement, among other 
things. The submission of a coordinated community plan will allow HUD 
to assess the ability of the selected communities to appropriately use 
the funding made available by Congress.
