Federal Grant Award Summary

Harbour Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Illinois, received a $350,000 Project Grant award dated September 30, 2025, from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550). The award, extending through September 29, 2028, funds the operation of the Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides safe and stable residential shelter to runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under exceptional circumstances). The program delivers comprehensive wraparound services including basic life skills training, educational and employment attainment opportunities, counseling, and case management designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living.

As an experienced service provider in this sector, Harbour Inc. leverages this funding to support homeless and at-risk youth across four core outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. The organization coordinates its TLP services with complementary programs including a Basic Center Program providing emergency shelter to youth under 18 and specialized housing through Harbour House for female and transgender homeless youth. Through evidence-based, trauma-informed service delivery approaches, Harbour Inc. addresses the critical support needs of vulnerable youth populations while working toward sustainable independence and community integration.
