In 2021, HUD awarded South Dakota Balance of State a Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) designation, including over $3 million in 2021. The YHDP is designed to drastically reduce the number of youth experiencing homelessness in communities across the country. South Dakota has nine Federally recognized Tribes. The South Dakota Balance of State community partners recognized the importance of collaborating with Tribal organizations to address the needs of unhoused Indigenous youth in the state. This product highlights the partnership between Wambli Ska, a Native-led organization, and other projects within the Balance of State. It is intended to provide insight into how to authentically partner with Tribes in the community to address youth homelessness and other housing-related projects.
