Houston launches expanded effort to address youth homelessness with a $10.4 million HUD...
A group of young men walk into one of the drop in houses at the temporary shelter being utilized by Covenant House Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2022 in Houston. Covenant House, a shelter for young adults without homes, is among groups benefiting from a new $10 million HUD grant to address youth homelessness. The shelter says the money will help move people off its waiting list into housing.
So the new funds, part of HUD’s Youth Homeless Demonstration Program, provided a significant influx of resources for organizations working with homeless young people. It covered those doubled up with friends, those who have recently begun sleeping outside or in their cars and those with a high risk of becoming homeless, such as people exiting the foster or juvenile justice systems.
“We know what it’s like,” said Kenny Easley, who joined the board near the beginning of this year. He said the work had provided him with a sense of purpose, which has, in turn, bolstered his mental health. “The things we have been put through in life have really molded us for this work – and we didn’t realize it until now.”
Covenant House, a shelter for homeless youth between 18 and 24, has already begun advertising to hire two new case managers to add to the three it already has supporting people in rapid rehousing.
