The Homeless Youth Grant through the Ohio Dept of Health is split to address two groups: homeless youth ages 14-24, and homeless pregnant women under the age of 24. The grant will provide physical and behavioral health support, social connections, and case management. According to the Dept. of Health those who are “couch surfing” or staying with family or friends on a temporary basis are included in the definition of homeless. The funds available through the grant to the youth are very flexible. The grant can assist with utility hookup, rent deposits, and much more. The youth can also be connected with a variety of services through the large network of providers.
