About the company
Connections To Independence, a Minneapolis-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, is a recipient of federal grants for youth homelessness prevention and supportive housing services, operating as both a prime grant recipient (50% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on state pass-through grants from Minnesota's Department of Human Services.
Connections To Independence operates within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's homelessness-prevention ecosystem, serving exclusively two federal grantors: HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development (3 awards) and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (3 awards). The organization's service delivery focuses on youth homelessness, specifically households where no individual exceeds twenty-four years of age, operating across five program components: permanent housing (permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Eligible activities funded through these grants include rental assistance, case management, operating costs for supportive housing facilities, and administrative support designed to minimize the length and recurrence of youth homelessness while promoting exits to permanent housing and self-sufficiency.
As a prime recipient, Connections To Independence received a $322,796 Project Grant under HUD's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) awarded January 1, 2026, with performance through December 31, 2026, supporting comprehensive housing and supportive services to address youth homelessness in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The organization holds a prior CoC Program grant covering the calendar year 2025, and also received funding under HUD's Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP) with ultimate completion in December 2024. As a sub-recipient, Connections To Independence receives pass-through funding from the Minnesota Department of Human Services under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 Independent Living Program, with multiple sub-awards executed July 1, 2022.
Activity spans four years with six total awards and $1.5 million in combined obligated dollars. One award (the current HUD CoC grant) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete. The vendor's federal footprint is entirely grant-funded, with no contracting vehicle participation, and operates as a community-level service provider rather than a federal contractor or systems integrator.
