Iowa BoS CoC Youth Action Board - August 2025 - Marshalltown & Ames Virtual Meeting
YAB Purpose Statement: The Youth Action Board empowers youth voices to implement and lead initiatives focused on preventing and ending youth homelessness.
YAB Virtual Meeting – Marshalltown & Ames
Date: Tuesday, August 26th
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: Virtual (GoToMeeting) → Join here
This will not be a regular Marshalltown YAB meeting. Instead, we’ll join together virtually for an important YHDP update.
We’ll also work on policies and procedures for housing programs (TH/RRH):
TH = Transitional Housing → short-term housing that helps youth move from crisis to stable living.
RRH = Rapid Re-Housing → helps youth quickly get into their own place (apartment, rental, etc.) with short-term support.
Policies and procedures are the rules and expectations that guide how a program works.
Example: “How long can someone stay in TH?” or “What kind of support should youth get when they first move into RRH?”
Ames members who cannot attend the Stowe Ropes Course that day are invited to join this session as well.
Your voice is needed. Please plan to log on at 5 PM. Join here
