Federal Grant Award Summary

The Place, a Colorado Springs-based nonprofit organization, received a $684,786 Project Grant from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550) awarded on September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2028. The grant funds The Place's Transitional Living Program (TLP), which provides street-based outreach, safe and stable residential shelter, and comprehensive supportive services to runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22. The program offers residential placements for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under exceptional circumstances) combined with wraparound services designed to facilitate youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living.

The comprehensive supportive services delivered through this grant include basic life skills training, educational and employment attainment opportunities, case management, and counseling. The TLP emphasizes a trauma-informed, youth-centered approach to address four core outcome areas: safe and stable housing, education or employment attainment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. This three-year grant represents federal funding for direct program implementation and requires The Place to maintain compliance with federal performance and financial reporting requirements under the Uniform Administrative Requirements.
