SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: On September 29, 2023, FYSB 
awarded funding for the first time to Runaway and Homeless Youth-
Prevention Demonstration Program (RHY-PDP) projects to design and 
deliver community-based demonstration initiatives to prevent youth from 
experiencing homelessness. Through the development and coordination of 
partnerships with youth and young adults, community organizations, and 
private and public agencies, the RHY-PDP grantees will: (1) design and 
develop a comprehensive community-based prevention plan to prevent 
youth homelessness; (2) identify young people at risk of experiencing 
homelessness; and (3) implement robust, holistic prevention services 
tailored for youth and young adults to respond to the diverse needs of 
youth who are at risk of homelessness and their families. The RHY-PDP 
has two phases with the first phase serving as a 6-month timeline for 
grant recipients to develop and submit a comprehensive prevention plan 
to prevent youth homelessness.
    The Prevention Plans can include:
     Grantee definition of prevention
     Summary of risk and protective factors for youth 
experiencing homelessness
     How grantees will identify at risk youth to include 
existing data to assist in identification
     Referral strategies for youth
     Explanation of the process of how youth with lived 
experience and community partners co-designed the prevention plan
     List of prevention interventions
     All related goals and performances measures planned
     List of community partners and their roles.
    FYSB will utilize the Prevention Plans to provide technical 
assistance to grantees, as needed, and will post the Prevention Plans 
to the FYSB website for grantees' peer-to-peer learning.
    Respondents: All grant recipients that receive an RHY-PDP grant for 
the prevention demonstration.

Total Burden Estimates

    FYSB awarded 11 grants in September 2023 and anticipates awarding a 
second cohort next year. The number of respondents reflects a potential 
second cohort of grant recipients that would also be required to submit 
the Prevention Plan.
