Project

Strengthening At Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children

To address the complex needs of at-risk and homeless families, the Strengthening At Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children initiative was funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and local funders from 2007-2011. The Initiative sought to improve the housing, health, and development of homeless and at-risk mothers and children by supporting locally-based partnerships that included housing/homelessness and child development agencies, as well as those that address family preservation, domestic violence, mental health, substance use and other support services for the target population. The Initiative's desired impacts were not limited to clients alone; it also aimed to integrate systems and disseminate knowledge in order to improve services for families not directly enrolled in its programs.
