Join us at National Network for Youth today! Earmarks are an interesting way to fill out your development strategy.

Join NN4Y to get prepared to pursue a Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 federal earmark! Earmark funding, also known as Community Project Funding (CPF) or Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS), are one-time funds available to community-based organizations and schools for specific projects or programs. This webinar will include a panel with Tedd Peso from The Night Ministry, Erin George-Kelly from Waypoint Services, and Anna Powers from the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs to discuss the earmarks process from start to finish. Come and learn what you can do to access these funds to support your work preventing and ending youth, young adult, and young family homelessness! https://lnkd.in/eszsAa6i

Yesterday, the House and Senate passed a temporary spending bill that keeps federal programs running at the same funding levels from the previous fiscal year, also known as a continuing resolution (CR). President Biden is expected to sign this three-month funding extension (H.R.9747) into law today to avoid a government shutdown. Learn about the implications for youth #homelessness in our new blog post! https://lnkd.in/eBc48tcc

LGBTQIA2S+ youth experiencing #homelessness are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their cisgender and heterosexual peers. They are also more likely to experience assault, trauma, depression, and suicide when compared to non-LGBTQ+ populations while also being homeless. ALL young people deserve welcoming and affirming housing options with supportive services, inclusive of transition-related support, healthcare access, legal services, and mental/emotional support systems. Suicide is not inevitable for anyone.

This is an incredible opportunity to learn from and with people passionate about improving youth outcomes, including preventing and ending youth homelessness!
