Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $280,661 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant to The Center For Youth Services, Inc., a non-profit organization in Rochester, NY. This one-year project grant, effective from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2025, will fund the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the local community.

The grant supports a range of critical services provided by The Center For Youth Services, including temporary and transitional housing, crisis nursery services, school-based counseling, street outreach, and supportive housing programs. These comprehensive community-based initiatives aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. The organization has a demonstrated track record of securing and effectively utilizing HUD CoC Program grants to deliver impactful housing and support services to vulnerable youth and families.
