Preventing Youth Homelessness in Michigan: Detroit Launch and Roundtable
Launching the Targeted Housing Assistance Program: one-time cash that helps Detroit's young adults stay housed.
November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. Two weeks after Michigan elects a new governor, with affordability at the center of the campaign, Detroit is shining a light on a new way to prevent youth homelessness before it starts.
The Targeted Housing Assistance Program (THAP) gives young adults ages 18 to 24 who are at imminent risk of homelessness a one-time cash payment, paired with their own housing plan. It can cover a security deposit, back rent, or so much more: the kind of cost that decides whether a young person stays housed.
Join Point Source Youth and Detroit Phoenix Center for the Detroit launch, followed by a roundtable with funders, policymakers, community leaders, and youth advocates on what prevention should look like across Michigan.
