The Akron / Barberton/ Summit County COC, doing business as Summit County Continuum Of Care (SCCOC), received a $633,017 Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.276). The grant aims to support SCCOC in developing and implementing a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness in the Akron, Barberton, and Summit County region of Ohio. Specifically, SCCOC will utilize the funding to provide a range of housing and supportive services, including acquisition and rehabilitation of properties, rental assistance, case management, and operating costs of homeless management information systems. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. As part of this effort, SCCOC also receives sub-awards from the City of Akron to operate COVID-19 quarantine shelters and provide administrative assistance for continuum of care planning and implementation.
