Hawaii Youth Services Network

Hawaii Youth Services Network is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporate entity based in Honolulu, Hawaii, registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2006. The organization focuses on addressing youth homelessness and providing critical support services for vulnerable youth populations across Hawaii. While specific details about its organizational mission are not provided in the source document, the federal grant awards indicate a comprehensive approach to supporting at-risk youth through various targeted programs and interventions.

The organization has received multiple federal grant awards from agencies including the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. These grants support a range of critical youth services, such as the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program ($1,036,608), which aims to prevent and end youth homelessness through housing acquisition, rental assistance, and supportive services. Additional grants include the Transitional Living for Homeless Youth program ($199,999), which provides shelter and comprehensive support for youth ages 16-22, and the Basic Center Program ($250,000), which offers emergency shelter, crisis intervention, and counseling for youth under 18. The organization has also received a Street Outreach Program grant and has been awarded sub-grants from the Hawaii Department of Health to support the Hawaii Interagency State Youth Network of Care. These federal awards demonstrate Hawaii Youth Services Network's commitment to addressing youth homelessness, providing critical social services, and helping vulnerable young people transition to self-sufficiency through housing, counseling, education, and employment support.
