This grant provides general operating support for Youth Continuum, which offers prevention, diversion, early intervention, emergency shelter and supportive housing services for youth and young adults who are involved with the child welfare or justice systems or homeless. Youth Continuum advocates local and state leaders for improved policies to assess and address the risks of homelessness for all youth in state systems prior to incarceration or discharge from state care. Youth Continuum conducts street outreach to identify and engage homeless youth and provides supportive and transitional housing for this population. The organization seeks to create an integrated network of providers to assist these young people.
