Summary of Federal Project Grant Award

Casa de Amparo received a Project Grant award of $349,563 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 operation of Casa de Amparo's Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides safe, stable shelter to runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 for up to 18 months, with potential extensions to 21 months under extenuating circumstances. The program delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to facilitate the transition of homeless youth to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living.

Core services provided through this funding include basic life skills training, educational and employment attainment support, case management, and counseling. The program measures success across four primary outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. All services are delivered using evidence-based, trauma-informed, victim-centered approaches in compliance with federal facility safety standards and program requirements. The three-year award period includes the potential for non-competing continuation funding based on satisfactory progress and available federal resources.
