HHP Programs provide housing services and support for youth and families involved in child welfare or other systems of care. The goal of these programs is to:
- Make sure that a lack of safe housing is not a reason that a child or youth is removed from the home.
- Give young people support to secure and keep stable housing when they exit systems of care.
The HHP team provides oversight, support, and help to providers, Tribes, and statewide partners for these services and programs:
- Community Housing Programs (Non-DCYF Partners)
- Emerging Adulthood Housing Programs
- Foster Care Housing Program (FCHP)
- Youth and Young Adult Housing Response Team (YYAHRT)
If you are a family or young person needing housing and don’t qualify for the above supports, there are other options. You may still be eligible for other DCYF programs, your local Coordinated Entry (CE) site, or Office of Homeless Youth (OHY) funded programs. In all cases, families must qualify for services before help can be offered.
