Spokane’s Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP)

Better Health Together (BHT) is committed to working with Community Partners to develop solutions to homelessness and better support those in our community experiencing homelessness. To support our region's ongoing YDHP efforts, BHT recently brought the Spokane Youth Advisory Board into its network of supported community-based leadership Collaboratives. The Spokane Youth Advisory Board plays an important role as the Youth Action Board (YAB) for our community's Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP).
