The count is a statewide effort to address – and ultimately prevent – youth homelessness in Howard County and across Maryland by obtaining information on the number, characteristics, and needs of youth ages 25 and under who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability.

Changes to Tuition Waiver

YRMD — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 17:52:06 +0000

Legislative changes have been made to the Homeless Youth Waiver. Previously, students had to be considered “unaccompanied” to qualify, but that is no longer the case.

The Maryland Tuition Waiver for Homeless Youth is available to students enrolled in an associate or vocational certificate, who experience homelessness or being at risk of homelessness, as defined by the Federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, at any time during the 24 months immediately preceding the student’s enrollment in a public institution of higher education or while the student is enrolled in a public institution of higher education.

The Youth REACH Modified Youth Count begins today!

YRMD — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 21:50:36 +0000

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Youth REACH Maryland Leadership Team postponed the 2020 Youth Count, which was previously scheduled for March 1 through April 12, 2020. We have worked with our state and local partners to create a modified count which will take place from February 2021 to May 2021.

Unlike other years, which would typically include in-person surveying during street counts, service-provider counts, and school counts, the 2021 Modified Youth Count will be online-only to ensure everyone’s health and safety are protected. This year, we will be focusing on online surveying administered through a link emailed directly to young people by community based homeless service providers and McKinney Vento Liaisons in the schools. The survey is available in Spanish and English and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Youth will receive a $10 electronic gift card via email for participating in the survey.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email Carrie Gould-Kabler.
