up to five years, to fund the Runaway and Homeless Youth programs, for the operation of Appian House Transitional
Housing Program for youth ages 18-21 in Contra Costa County, for the period from October 1, 2008 through

Acceptance of these funds awarded is necessary for the development and operation of a transitional housing program

leveraged from other public entities such as the County Mental Health to support the project. No additional County
funds are required.
