This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the efforts of Families In Transition of Santa Cruz Inc., a non-profit organization in Santa Cruz, California, to address youth homelessness in the community. The $316,274 grant, awarded on March 11, 2025, will enable Families In Transition to provide a range of services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention programs. These initiatives aim to quickly house homeless youth, defined as households where no person is over the age of 24, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant funding will cover eligible costs such as leasing, rental assistance, supportive services, and operating expenses to establish and operate these projects. The expected outcomes of the award include a decrease in the number of youth experiencing homelessness, as measured by performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
