Federal Grant Award Summary

The YMCA of San Diego County received a $350,000 Project Grant from the Administration on Children Youth and Families under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550), effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028. This three-year award supports the Turning Point Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides safe, stable shelter and comprehensive supportive services 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 evidence-based, trauma-informed services designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and independent living. Core service offerings include basic life skills training, educational and employment attainment opportunities, case management, and counseling. The TLP measures success across four primary outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment advancement, permanent social connections, and social and emotional well-being. These comprehensive services support vulnerable youth populations in San Diego County through a victim-centered service delivery model aligned with federal program requirements.
