Presented by John Burton Advocates for Youth (JBAY)
Please join John Burton Advocates for Youth for a webinar marking the release of a new report highlighting how targeted state investments have reduced youth homelessness in California by 24% between 2019 and 2024.
The report provides a statewide analysis of local homelessness actions plans and spotlights programs across the state working to address youth homelessness with funding from the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP). HHAP has a “youth set-aside,” requiring that jurisdictions direct at least 10% of their HHAP allocation toward addressing youth homelessness. Over a six-year period, this has resulted in more than $400 million—out of the full $4.9 billion appropriated for HHAP—being invested in young people. However, in the 2025-26 budget cycle, the state did not include funding for HHAP, with an intent to fund it in 2026-27 at $500 million—half the amount appropriated in each of the last four years.
Webinar participants will learn in-depth about how HHAP funding was instrumental in building up a robust continuum of youth service providers within local homeless response systems, and the impact that reduced or eliminated HHAP funding would have on the youth services continuum statewide.
