This $486,352 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is designed to support the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness in Gillette, Wyoming. The grant funding will be used by the non-profit organization Youth Emergency Services, Inc. (doing business as Y E S House) to establish and operate projects across five program components: permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Key activities include providing housing relocation and stabilization services, short- and medium-term rental assistance, case management, and other supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless youth and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The overarching goal is to decrease the number of youth experiencing homelessness in the community by improving performance measures such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
