Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $100,000 project grant to the Mountain-Plains Youth Services Coalition, doing business as Youthworks, to deliver comprehensive services to vulnerable youth in Bismarck, North Dakota. This funding will enable Youthworks, a non-profit organization, to provide a range of interventions and support services to address challenges such as homelessness, human trafficking, and youth at risk of entering juvenile justice or child welfare systems. The key services to be delivered through this award include emergency shelter, counseling, housing assistance, case management, job training, trafficking victim support, mental health services, and family intervention. Youthworks has demonstrated expertise in delivering critical youth-focused services across multiple federal programs and maintains a robust network of community and governmental partnerships to address youth vulnerability.
