 The Homeless Youth Project (HYP) is a Supportive Housing Program which began in 1991. The program is funded by the Department of Commerce, Division of Community Development, Bureau of Housing. KHDS participates in a Statewide Continuum of Care (COC) which collaboratively and competitively writes new project and renewal grants on an annual basis. The HYP serves two different populations which include homeless young adults between ages 18-24 and adults who are both homeless and diagnosed with a mental illness.
The goal of the project is to assist participants in obtaining and remaining in permanent hosing, achieve greater self-determination and increase skills and/or income. In order to achieve that goal, HYP provides hands on supportive services, rental assistance, individualized treatment planning, assistance accessing community resources, adult life skills groups, education planning, housing and job search assistance, individual life skills training, parenting education, and assistance identifying and connecting with a support system. |
