Federal Grant Award Summary

Oceans Harbor House, Inc. received a $350,000 Project Grant from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550), effective September 30, 2025 through September 29, 2028. The award funds the Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides safe and stable residential shelter for runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 for up to 18 months, with potential extension to 21 months under extenuating circumstances. The organization delivers comprehensive support services including basic life skills training, educational and employment attainment opportunities, counseling, case management, and housing assistance designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living.

The TLP operates with a focus on four core outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. As a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Toms River, New Jersey, Oceans Harbor House has maintained consistent federal funding from ACYF since 2008 and demonstrates established capacity in serving vulnerable youth populations through multiple federally-funded programs addressing the needs of runaway and homeless youth.
