The federal Project Grant award of $190,000.00 was provided by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) under the Basic Center Grant program (CFDA 93.623). The purpose of the grant is to establish or strengthen the capacity of community-based public and private agencies to address the immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth under the age of 18 and their families. The award, titled "The Treehouse: Empowering At-Risk Youth Through Safe Haven and Holistic Support and Turning Helplessness into Power by Fostering Community and Enhancing Family Wellbeing," will be implemented by the non-profit organization "Choose Love. Celebrate Life. A Foundation For Youth And Families, Incorporated" from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027. The project aims to provide emergency shelter, crisis intervention, counseling, family reunification assistance, and referrals for healthcare and social services to prevent youth from entering law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.
