Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $277,727 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Homeless Youth Coalition, doing business as Wait House, a nonprofit organization in Glens Falls, NY. The grant funding supports Wait House's efforts to provide comprehensive housing and social services for runaway and homeless youth in the local community. Key services delivered through this one-year grant, from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, include permanent and transitional housing, case management, housing placement, life skills training, counseling, and support for establishing independent living. As a CoC Program grant, this award aligns with the federal initiative's objectives to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency.
