This $251,908 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (CFDA 14.267) to Avenues For Youth, a domestic shelter and non-profit organization, is intended to fund housing assistance and supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Minneapolis, MN area while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Key activities to be performed under this one-year grant, which began on March 11, 2025, include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention efforts. As a sub-grantee, Avenues For Youth also partners with Hennepin County, MN to deliver youth services, counseling, and additional homelessness prevention initiatives through this federal funding. The overarching goals of the CoC Program are to promote community-wide strategies to end homelessness and provide access to mainstream resources for those experiencing it.
