This federal Project Grant award of $871,138, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), is intended to support the Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. (ECHO) in preventing and ending youth homelessness in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area.
The grant funding will allow ECHO to provide a range of eligible services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention efforts. These activities are aimed at quickly housing homeless youth, defined as households where no person is over the age of 24, while minimizing trauma and promoting their self-sufficiency. Additionally, ECHO may use the grant funds to provide housing relocation, stabilization services, and short- or medium-term rental assistance to at-risk youth to prevent them from becoming homeless. The award is expected to contribute to decreasing the number of youth experiencing homelessness in the Myrtle Beach region.
