The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,008,159 Project Grant under the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (CFDA 14.276) to the Institute For Community Alliances, a non-profit organization, to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness. The funding will be used to provide a range of services, including acquisition and rehabilitation of housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) implementation. As part of this effort, the Institute For Community Alliances will receive a $28,000 sub-award from Homeward Iowa, another non-profit organization, to assist with hiring new staff, provide connections to state contacts, and participate in partnership activities and training development. The overall goal of the project is to significantly decrease the number of youth experiencing homelessness, increase their income, education, health, and social-emotional well-being, and foster new or improved partnerships between youth-serving organizations in the community.
