Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $167,274 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) to Youth Pride Inc., a non-profit organization in Providence, Rhode Island. The grant funding will enable Youth Pride Inc. to provide comprehensive support services to LGBTQ+ youth, focusing on addressing homelessness, victimization, and social challenges faced by young individuals under the age of 24. Through the CoC Program, Youth Pride Inc. will deliver services such as permanent and transitional housing, supportive services, and assistance to prevent and mitigate youth homelessness. The organization will also use the grant to provide direct services to LGBTQ+ youth crime victims, including social services, educational support, and advocacy for individuals under age 23 who have experienced hate-related crimes, relationship violence, sexual assault, and child abuse.
