The Livingston Family Center, Inc. received a $305,182 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), under the Transitional Living Program (CFDA 93.550).

The program provides safe, stable residential shelter for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under exceptional circumstances) combined with street-based outreach and comprehensive supportive services designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and independent living.

The supported services include basic life skills training, educational and employment opportunity development, individual and group counseling, and case management. The program targets four core outcome areas: social and emotional well-being, permanent connections, education or employment advancement, and safe and stable housing. As a substantial recipient of federal youth homelessness funding in Michigan, the Livingston Family Center operates this award as a prime recipient while maintaining complementary subaward relationships with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for related youth and family services.
