Federal Grant Award Summary

Walkers Point Youth & Family Center Inc. received a $344,918 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2027. The funding supports the organization's delivery of comprehensive homeless assistance services in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, including emergency shelter for youth, housing relocation and stabilization services, tenant-based rental assistance, case management, housing counseling, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment.

As a nonprofit provider operating within the CoC Program framework, Walkers Point Youth & Family Center Inc. utilizes these funds to establish and operate eligible CoC projects across five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention activities. The award supports the organization's mission to quickly house homeless individuals and families—particularly youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness—while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Walkers Point operates as both a direct grant recipient and as a subrecipient in partnership with the City of Milwaukee to deliver coordinated homeless services throughout the community.
