The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded more than $3.4 million to 38 public housing agencies, including Glendale's, for vouchers to assist young adults exiting foster care.
Glendale's housing authority is receiving $142,210 for 10 vouchers. The money also covers administrative fees, according to a release from HUD.
“HUD is committed to helping young adults focus on their goals and dreams, and there is no better way to do that than by ensuring that youth transitioning from foster care have a place to call home,” Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman said.
“Teaming up with housing authorities across the country helps us to meet the needs of youth who have aged out of foster care and get them into safe, sustainable and affordable housing so that they can thrive.”
Through the Foster Youth to Independence initiative, HUD "is investing in a community response to homelessness faced by child welfare-involved youth," the release stated.
“The FYI program represents the combined effort of federal, state and local agencies to build communities of support for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood,” Rich Monocchio, principal deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Public and Indian Housing, said.
“These awards demonstrate our collective commitment to ensuring that young people have the opportunity to build a future free from housing insecurity.”
