NYC Direct Cash Transfers RFP Info Session

Written By Guest User

Co-designed by young adults with lived experience of homelessness alongside teams from Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and Point Source Youth, The Trust Youth Initiative is the first study of the effectiveness of direct cash assistance to young people aged 18-24 with optional supportive services to help advance the goal of ending youth homelessness. In the first phase of this groundbreaking project taking place in NYC, 30-40 young adults aged 18-24 that are experiencing homelessness will receive $1,250 per month for up to two years. The Request for Proposals is available now and New York City youth- and young adult-serving nonprofit agencies are encouraged to consider applying for funds to implement the project’s supportive programming and recruitment processes.

Hear from collaborators and key stakeholders on the RFP for direct cash transfers, how the program and evaluation will work, and how folks can join the movement to affirm and uplift youth choice and financial independence.
