Federal Grant Award Summary

Waking The Village, doing business as Tubman House, received a $350,000 Project Grant award effective September 30, 2025, through September 29, 2028, from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families under the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program (CFDA 93.550). This Maternity Group Home (MGH) award funds the provision of safe, stable shelter and comprehensive supportive services to pregnant and parenting youth ages 16 to under 22 and their dependent children for up to 18 months (extendable to 21 months under extenuating circumstances). The program operates from the organization's Sacramento, California location and incorporates facility safety standards appropriate for infants and children.

Core services delivered through this award include parenting skills instruction, child development education, family budgeting training, health and nutrition education, basic life skills development, educational and job attainment support, and counseling services. These comprehensive wraparound services are designed to support youth transition to self-sufficiency and stable, independent living while addressing four outcome areas established by the federal program: safe and stable housing, education or employment, permanent connections, and social and emotional well-being. The award aligns with Waking The Village's established portfolio of federal youth homelessness programs, which collectively total approximately $2.1 million through 2028.
