About The Link
The Link, doing business as Youth Development, is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for homeless and at-risk youth services, operating exclusively in the HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program and complementary Department of Justice victim-services funding, with no federal contract prime experience.
The Link operates as a tax-exempt nonprofit delivering permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, emergency shelter, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and educational support targeted to homeless youth under age 24 and individuals fleeing domestic violence or sexual assault. The organization also operates the Safe Harbor Program, a specialized initiative supporting minor victims of sex trafficking through trauma-informed care, mobile case management, outreach, parent-support services, and aftercare transition assistance. Recent HUD CoC Program awards include a $770,793 project grant awarded June 1, 2026 (performance through May 31, 2027), a $792,016 award effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, a $372,606 award for the January 1–December 31, 2026 period, a $335,506 award effective December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, and a $181,970 award effective November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2026. The Link also holds a Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime grant (CFDA not specified) supporting the Safe Harbor Program, with performance extending through September 30, 2026.
The Link's customer base is highly concentrated: 57 of 73 total awards (95% coverage) flow from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development under the CoC Program (CFDA 14.267), with 11 awards from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime division and one from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. The organization operates as a prime recipient on 58 awards (79% of total) and acts as a sub-recipient under state and local grantor agencies on 15 awards (21%), including rapid rehousing sub-awards under Hennepin County and cooperative agreements with Hearth Connection for permanent supportive housing operations, as well as sub-grants from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety for victim services and early intervention services to youth in police custody.
Recent annual award counts show fluctuation: eight awards in 2022, six in 2023, five in 2024, ten in 2025, and two in 2026 (through June). Combined federal obligations across all 73 awards total $23.5 million. Six awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure. The Link has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2006 and complements its federal funding with state resources supporting juvenile justice and crime victim services.
