This federal Project Grant award of $121,885, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness. The award aims to decrease the number of youth experiencing homelessness, as measured by performance indicators such as reduced length of time homeless, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing.
The grant funds may be used to establish and operate projects under the CoC Program components, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Eligible costs include leasing of structures, rental assistance, supportive services, operating costs, HMIS implementation, and administrative expenses. The grant recipient, the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, will provide these services to youth, defined as households where no person is over the age of 24, in order to achieve the program's goal of ending youth homelessness.
