Youth and Family Services of North Central Oklahoma Inc. received a $350,000 project grant from the Administration for Children and Families under the Transitional Living Program (CFDA 93.550), awarded September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028. The organization will provide safe, stable shelter and comprehensive support services to runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Services include residential housing for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under exceptional circumstances), basic life skills training, educational support, employment assistance, and counseling designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and independent living.

The award supports the organization's mission to serve at-risk youth populations through evidence-based residential and supportive services. This funding represents one of two concurrent $350,000 project grants the organization holds under separate ACF youth and family services programs, collectively positioning the organization to deliver both emergency shelter services (under the Basic Center Program) and longer-term transitional support services to vulnerable youth in north central Oklahoma.
