The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $285,324 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Billings, Montana. This funding will support the YWCA's efforts to provide housing assistance and comprehensive support services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and homeless individuals and families in the Billings area. Key services to be delivered under this award include transitional housing, rental and utility assistance, case management, counseling, childcare, transportation, job training, and education. The YWCA has a history of receiving federal and state grant funding to address homelessness and assist vulnerable populations through a holistic, community-based approach focused on quickly rehousing individuals, minimizing trauma, and promoting self-sufficiency.
