The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $337,006 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Northwest Indian OIC, a Native American-owned non-profit organization in Bemidji, Minnesota. The grant supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless youth under 24 years old, minimize trauma and dislocation, and promote their self-sufficiency. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease youth homelessness through performance metrics such as reducing length of homelessness, returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing. As a subrecipient, Northwest Indian OIC has also partnered with state agencies to provide case management, employment services, and trafficking education to assist the target population.
