Congressman Nick Langworthy announced that Chautauqua Opportunities Inc. in Dunkirk will receive a $245,600 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The funding is intended to support the Transitional Living Program, which provides housing and services for older homeless youth in Chautauqua County, aiding their transition to independent living.
“Chautauqua Opportunities Inc. has a proven track record of making a difference in the lives of young people, helping them to transition from homelessness and setting them up for a bright future with essential life skills,” said Congressman Langworthy. “I’ll always support their important work in our community, and this grant will help them continue to change lives for the better.”
According to HHS, the Transitional Living Program aims to assist homeless youth aged 16 to under 22 who cannot live with their families with long-term residential services. Through supervised housing and supportive services such as educational assistance, job training, counseling, and life skills development, the program aims to equip these young people with the tools they need to achieve self-sufficiency and lead independent lives.
