This $298,445 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) will enable Newcap Inc., a nonprofit organization in Oconto, Wisconsin, to provide a range of housing and supportive services to address youth homelessness in the region.
The funding will support Newcap's efforts to quickly house homeless youth, defined as individuals under age 24, through interventions such as permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention. Eligible activities include rental assistance, leasing of housing, supportive services, and operating costs. Additionally, the grant will cover Newcap's implementation and operation of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The expected outcomes are a decrease in youth homelessness, as measured by reduced length of time homeless, lower rates of returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing. This award, effective March 11, 2025, is part of HUD's broader strategy to promote community-wide solutions to end youth homelessness.
