Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Hope Center for Children received a $307,012 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 organization's Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides comprehensive, trauma-informed support services to homeless youth ages 16-21, including young parents, in South Carolina. Core services include safe residential housing placement, street-based outreach, case management, and counseling designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable independent living.

The program delivers wraparound supportive services including life skills training, educational and employment support, and specialized services such as parenting education for youth parents. These services are provided within a residential setting for up to 18 months, with youth progress measured across four outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. This award represents a continuation of Hope Center for Children's federal funding under the TLP, demonstrating the organization's established capacity to serve homeless and at-risk youth populations through evidence-based, victim-centered service delivery models.
