2024 Florida Coalition to End Homelessness Conference Youth Track                                               

This year, join a full track dedicated to the innovative work to address youth experiencing homelessness in Florida as a result of Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). This will be an opportunity for your Local YAB to join a network of peers organizing to end youth homelessness and collaborate with system providers to enhance the work. If your CoC or organization does not have a YAB, this is an opportunity to learn how to develop a YAB and receive support to launch it. All Participating YAB members will be compensated for their participation in the statewide YAB.

Learn more about including youth with lived experience in your work, partnering with a variety of systems of care and ending homelessness quickly for this population. If you serve youth, this track is dedicated to you.  

This year, we will feature several ways to integrate youth with lived experience in your work:

1. An introduction to the Youth Homeless System Improvement Grant (YHSI) and how you can expand your Youth Advisory Boards. 
2. An introduction to the Statewide Youth Advisory Board and how youth will be compensated for their work.
3. A special reception for youth involved in ending homelessness on October 16^th after the conference workshops.
4. Conference Scholarships for youth with lived experience.

Are you Youth (18-24yrs) with Lived Experience? Do you work with your COC on your Advisory Board? Are you interested in joining or Learning the Statewide Youth Advisory Board?  If you answered yes to any of the above and would like to attend the Youth Track of the 2024 Florida Coalition to End Homelessness you can register with the special link below for $450!
