Continuum of care program

This $235,884 Continuum of Care Program project grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267), supports the delivery of comprehensive services by Residential Youth Services & Empowerment (Ryse), a non-profit organization and domestic shelter based in Kailua, Hawaii. The funding will enable Ryse to provide transitional housing, emergency shelter, case management, education and employment assistance, and behavioral health services to address youth homelessness and promote stability, safety, and self-sufficiency among vulnerable youth populations, with a particular focus on serving Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Black, Indigenous, and other youth of color. This award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, is part of HUD's broader efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness through community-based solutions.
