The Amity Foundation is seeking applications for program (Area 3) Youth-Specific Housing Interventions.
Donor Name: Amity Foundation
State: California
County: Los Angeles County (CA)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 07/12/2022
Size of the Grant: $900,000
Grant Duration: 3 years
Details:
Through a competitively bid process, Amity Foundation (Amity) was selected to act as Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to manage and distribute a portion of funds included in the CFCI spending plan, and Non-CFCI funds for Grants to Justice-Focused Community-Based Organizations. Amity will be responsible for distributing $55 million over three years across eight Program Areas with the goal of equitably increasing access to funds for organizations serving youth and those impacted by injustice and inequities within the criminal justice systems. Additionally, priority is given to organizations that have historically experienced barriers to accessing County funding.
Invest in housing programs and interventions that are tailored for at-risk youth and system-impacted transition-age youth. Housing for youth should be informed by individuals with lived experience with the foster care and/or juvenile justice systems, and also implemented by providers with lived experience. Funding should not be used to expand the surveillance of families, and supportive services should be provided but not required in order to access youth housing programs.
