This $717,807 federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), will fund efforts by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to address youth homelessness in the Los Angeles area. The grant will support LAHSA's activities to quickly house homeless youth, defined as households where no person is over the age of 24, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible grant activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As the lead agency for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care, LAHSA will both directly deliver these services and act as a pass-through entity, distributing funds to nonprofit homeless services providers and local governments to implement community-wide strategies to end youth homelessness in the greater Los Angeles area. The grant is expected to contribute to a decrease in the number of youth experiencing homelessness, using performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
