Cocoon House Transitions TLP – Transitional Living for Homeless Youth (CFDA 93.550)

Cocoon House, a nonprofit organization based in Snohomish County, Washington, received a $350,000 Project Grant from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550), awarded September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2028. Through this three-year award, Cocoon House operates a Transitional Living Program (TLP) that provides safe, 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), combined with comprehensive supportive services designed to facilitate their transition to self-sufficiency and independent living.

The program delivers evidence-based, trauma-informed services encompassing basic life skills training, educational and employment opportunities, case management, mental health counseling, and health care referrals. Cocoon House's TLP operates as part of a broader service portfolio that includes emergency shelter through the Basic Center Program and street outreach initiatives. The grant directly supports outcomes in four core outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment attainment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. Additionally, Cocoon House receives complementary sub-grant funding through Snohomish County for emergency shelter with case management, rapid rehousing, transitional housing units, and youth engagement services, demonstrating an integrated approach to addressing youth homelessness across the region.
