Supported Housing for Families and Young Adults (SHFYA) 2007-2008

Appropriation Level: $5,000,000

The purpose of the Supported Housing for Families and Young Adults (SHFYA) Program is to provide comprehensive support services designed to stabilize, enhance employability, and/or enhance self-sufficiency for those residents (eligible families and young adults between the ages of 18 and 25) of supported housing who are formerly homeless, at risk of homelessness, and/or have exceeded or risk exceeding the TANF time limits. The SHFYA program has two contract cycles. Though awards are allocated annually, the program operates through multi-year contracts. Contracts resulting from the SFY 2005-06 $2.5M appropriation commenced on September 1, 2005 and are scheduled to end on November 30, 2010 with extension. They are currently on a fifth annual funding cycle, which began on 9/1/09 and has been extended through 11/30/10 and is supported by $2.5M of the SFY 2009-10 appropriation. The SHFYA appropriation was increased to $5.0M in SFY 2006-07, which has allowed for a new procurement for additional SHFYA sponsors.

Contracts resulting from the increase of $2.5M commenced on March 1, 2007, and the 2007-08 funding cycle ended on February 28, 2009. The multiple-year contract is scheduled to terminate on February 28, 2011.
