Personal Impact
Life & Work
Nonprofit organizations that run youth shelters and transitional living programs would benefit from larger and more stable grant funding. The 5-year grant cycle (up from shorter periods) and higher minimum grant amounts ($225,000 to $275,000) give these organizations more financial predictability to retain staff and plan services.
“not less than $225,000 and not more than $275,000 if the amount appropriated to carry out this title (other than parts E and F) for the fiscal year is equal to or greater than $200,000,000”
