Four organizations in Maine will receive more than $3 million to launch new programs to address youth homelessness particularly in rural Maine.
Chris Bicknell is with Lewiston s New Beginnings youth shelter, which worked to secure the federal funding. He says the money will allow organization to pilot several new strategies, including one that would provide youth with both housing vouchers and support services. It s a much more robust approach to helping young people get into their first apartment, maintain that first apartment, build the skills they need to move from being in a subsidy situation to being independent, he says.
He says the funds will also support a host home pilot program, which would allow youth to stay in the home of a member of their community, instead of being forced to move to a shelter in a city like Portland or Bangor.
