BACKGROUND
The State’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provides funding to Napa County through the Transitional Housing Program (THP) and Housing Navigation and Maintenance Program (HNMP) allocation awards for the support of housing navigators to help youth 18-24 years of age secure and maintain housing, with priority given to youth 18-24 years of age, formerly or currently in the foster care or probation systems.
This agreement enables On The Move to expend these funds to continue their work to locate, procure and maintain housing for youth formerly or currently in the foster care or probation system. This is especially important for this age group as they transition to independent living arrangements. The housing needs of youth in foster care are great and the services provided under this agreement help support these youth toward the best possible outcomes.
