Essential

Fund for Youth Housing

Avatar: Community Member Community Member 06/25/2025 12:30

What problem would you like to solve?

There are little to no programs to help single youth get housing

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It is hard to find affordable housing in NYC if you are not a mother and more programs need to be offered to single youth.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

A housing lottery program for young adults ages 18 to 26 who are single and homeless and provide funds to support rent.

Who would that help?

The rising amount of homeless youth

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Citywide
