Homeless Youth Connection, Inc. received a $350,000 Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (HHS/ACF) under the Transitional Living Program (CFDA 93.550) on September 30, 2025, with a completion date of September 29, 2028. The award funds the HYC Hatcher Transitional Living Program, which 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). The program delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to facilitate the transition to self-sufficiency and independent living, including basic life skills training, educational support, employment and job attainment opportunities, and counseling services.

The Transitional Living Program aligns with the federal program's four core outcome areas: social and emotional well-being, permanent connections, education or employment, and safe and stable housing. As a nonprofit organization based in Phoenix, Arizona, Homeless Youth Connection, Inc. has established itself as a critical provider of transitional housing services for the state's homeless youth population, with demonstrated sustained engagement in federal grant funding under this program and prior experience as a sub-grantee delivering related youth support services in collaboration with local governments.
