Project Title: Structured Community Living for Housing Stability and Adult Readiness
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Nevada Youth Empowerment Project (NYEP) is requesting support for the facilitation of its Community Living Program (CLP), a housing-based program serving 14 young women (ages 18\u201324) at a time in Reno, Nevada.<\/p>\n
Participants typically enter the program experiencing homelessness, disrupted education, and limited access to stable employment, often without consistent adult support systems.<\/p>\n
The CLP is a structured, 9\u201324 month program that combines housing with daily, staff-led facilitation of routines, responsibilities, and skill development. Residents are required to participate in a standards-based system that includes education, employment preparation, financial management, and interpersonal skill development.<\/p>\n
Funding will support the labor required to operate this environment, including daily supervision, enforcement of program expectations, delivery of a multi-component life skills curriculum, individualized coaching tied to measurable responsibilities, and maintenance of a non-punitive, high-accountability communication model.<\/p>\n
This work is staff-intensive and depends on consistent, in-person facilitation.<\/p>\n
NYEP operates with a fixed capacity of 14 residents to maintain safety, supervision, and accountability. Expansion is not included in this request; increasing capacity without proportional staffing and housing would reduce program integrity.<\/p>\n
The program is structured in phases (stabilization, responsibility, and independence), requiring residents to demonstrate progress before advancing. This sequencing limits throughput but preserves reliability.<\/p>\n
NYEP is privately funded and has declined funding that requires reduced expectations or shortened timelines, as those conditions conflict with program function.<\/p>\n
This request supports continued operation of a controlled, high-accountability housing environment for participants willing to engage in structured change.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: 400000<\/p>\n
