Carroll County commissioners to discuss federal grant to help homeless youth and young adults

An estimated 125 youth and young adults who are close to or already experiencing homelessness are helped annually in Carroll County, according to Continuum of Care, an agency that coordinates a community response to end homelessness in the county. Celene Steckel, director of the county’s Department of Citizens Services, and co-chairperson of Continuum of Care for Carroll County, will go before the Board of Carroll County Commissioners Thursday to request permission to apply for and accept a federal grant of up to $600,000, to help young people experiencing homelessness.
