The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded Vermont a grant to combat youth homelessness.
Vermont's grant is designed to support rural homeless youth, with a focus on transitional age youth between the ages of 16 and 24.
HUD New England Regional Administrator David Tille announced the $2 million grant Monday. “The goal of the Youth Homeless Demonstration Program is to support communities in the development and implementation of a coordinated community approach to preventing and ending youth homelessness.”
Vermont was one of 11 jurisdictions selected nationwide to receive such a grant.
