essential to maintaining adequate emergency housing and supportive services to youth year-

Over the past six years, Appian House Transitional Housing Program. has assisted over 20
homeless youth ages 18-21 to stabilize, gain critical life skills and education, and find permanent
housing. Recently, the Homeless Programs added another 8-bed transitional housing program to
serve homeless youth who may have exited the foster care system and who may have mental
health challenges. Ninety (90%) percent of youth come to our transitional housing programs
through Calli House, our youth shelter. Many are in crisis with histories of physical, sexual, and
emotional abuse or neglect. The housing and services provided at the Transitional Living
Program's (TLP) are critical in stabilizing the youth and assisting them in reunifying with family
or finding independently living.
Three certified and sealed copies of the Board Order authorizing submission of the application
should be returned to the Contracts and Grants Unit.
