Continuum of care program

The Center For Youth Services, Inc. was awarded a $129,288 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. This Project Grant supports the organization's efforts to provide comprehensive services to homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth and families in the Rochester, NY community.

The grant funding enables The Center For Youth Services to deliver a range of programs, including temporary and transitional housing, crisis nursery services, school-based counseling, street outreach, and other supportive services. These initiatives aim to quickly rehouse individuals and families, minimize the trauma caused by homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and foster self-sufficiency among vulnerable populations. The organization also receives sub-awards to create community learning centers, provide academic support, and deliver emergency shelter services in partnership with the New York State Education Department and the City of Rochester.
