This $189,996 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on March 11, 2025, supports the County of Glacier School District 9 (operating as Browning Public Schools and Napi Elementary School) in Browning, Montana. The grant funding is used to establish and operate projects under five program components: 1) permanent housing, including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing; 2) transitional housing; 3) supportive services; 4) Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS); and 5) homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease youth homelessness, as measured by performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. The school district, which serves a predominantly Native American student population, will use the funding to provide housing assistance, supportive services, and initiatives tailored to meet the unique needs of homeless youth in the community.
