The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program was created in 1983 to supplement the work of local social service organizations within the United States, both private and governmental, to help people in need of emergency assistance. This collaborative effort between the private and public sectors has provided over $3.4 billion in Federal funds during its 27-year history.
Youth Continuum is a multi-service agency that focuses on the successful transition of homeless youth in to adulthood. Youth are referred to our agency by the Department of Children and Families as foster youth or are identified as homeless through our street outreach efforts. Once a youth enters our programs, they are given housing, counseling and comprehensive supervision to the extent appropriate.
