The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Safe Place For Youth Inc. $700,000 on September 30, 2025, under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550).

The award funds SPY's MGH Program—The Nest, which serves pregnant or parenting youth ages 16–21 experiencing or at risk of homelessness and/or trafficking in Los Angeles County through September 29, 2028. The program provides residential placement of up to 540 days (and in exceptional circumstances 635 days) and comprehensive supportive services designed to improve social and emotional well-being, permanent connections, education or employment outcomes, and access to safe and stable housing.

Safe Place For Youth Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Santa Monica, California, operates multiple supportive housing and outreach programs serving homeless and at-risk youth in Los Angeles County. The Nest represents the organization's most recent award under this program; prior grants supported its Maternity Group Home Youth Family Housing Program, Transitional Housing Program, and Street Outreach Program with Drop-In Center Services. The organization also serves as a subgrantee under the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, providing housing-focused case management and rapid re-housing services to young adults ages 18–24, including expectant and parenting youth and those with child welfare or juvenile justice involvement.

Place of performance is California.
