Continuum of care program

This Project Grant award for $583,924.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) was granted to Valley Youth House Committee, Inc. (doing business as Valley Youth House), a non-profit organization based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The funding will enable Valley Youth House to provide comprehensive support services focused on addressing homelessness and preventing housing instability among youth. Key services include permanent and transitional housing, rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and youth-specific interventions. The organization also leverages sub-awards from other entities like the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to deliver additional services such as trauma-focused counseling, street outreach, and victim support programs. Through this diverse range of housing and supportive services, Valley Youth House aims to promote self-sufficiency and improve outcomes for vulnerable youth experiencing complex challenges related to homelessness, trauma, and at-risk situations.
