Federal Grant Award Summary

Advocates For Children, Inc. received a $318,271 Project Grant award effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028, from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550). The organization provides safe, stable residential 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 extenuating circumstances. Services include basic life skills training, educational and employment support, case management, counseling, and other wraparound support designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living.

The Transitional Living Program (TLP) operated by Advocates For Children addresses four core outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment attainment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. The award supports program operations in Georgia and represents part of a larger federal funding portfolio for the organization, which also includes HUD Continuum of Care Program funding and sub-awards supporting maternal health, child advocacy, and juvenile prevention initiatives across the state.
