The Homeless Youth Act (HYA) provides definitions for runaway youth, homeless youth, and youth at-risk of homelessness, and defines the continuum of services for youth, including outreach, drop-in services, emergency shelter, and housing. In addition, the HYA affords funding to nonprofits and tribal governments to support the continuum of services. These biennial reports are intended to inform the Minnesota Legislature on the level and nature of needs for homeless youth in Minnesota, provide details on funding decisions and grants made, and give information on outcomes for populations to determine the effectiveness of programs and use of funding.
