RIHousing is requesting proposals from qualified firms to act as the YAB facilitator and support the Youth Action Board (YAB). The selected firm will be responsible for serving as a foundation for the YAB, assisting with its routine operations, and ensuring that the YAB and its subcommittees are empowered and consistently supported to make decisions on youth homelessness within the RICoC. The essential duties of the applicant will be to facilitate, train, and support the YAB with the assistance from the CoC Planners so that the YAB can effectively lead. RIHousing believes this is only possible when a healthy culture is created, meaning the YAB is provided with the support, technical expertise, and guidance needed to sustain meaningful youth involvement, and leadership within the RICoC. This role demands a strong dedication to a youth-centric philosophy, which means tailoring the support given to the varying needs of the YAB members.
