Summary

Overview

Humane Housing Grants The Buhl Regional Health Foundation (BRHF) invites proposals from nonprofit organizations serving Mercer County to support initiatives that strengthen Humane Housing for children, youth, and their families. Humane Housing is one of the seven Vital Conditions for a Thriving Community Framework now guiding BRHF’s funding strategy. This is a foundational factor influencing long-term well-being. In Mercer County, access to safe, stable, and dignified housing remains a critical determinant of physical, emotional, and mental health. Youth who experience housing instability or unsafe living conditions face significant barriers to healthy development, educational success, and long-term thriving. Through this RFP, BRHF seeks programs that prevent housing instability, improve living conditions, promote family stability, and ensure that all young people have access to safe environments where they can grow, learn, and thrive. Projects may focus on prevention, early intervention, housing-related support, or innovative community partnerships that strengthen long-term stability for youth and families. Focus Areas Proposals should clearly address one or more of the following priority areas and reflect the principle that Humane Housing is a vital community condition essential for child well-being: Programs that prevent youth homelessness or housing displacement Transitional housing support for youth or youth-led householdsFamily stabilization programs that keep children safely housedEfforts that reduce unsafe or unstable living situations Improving Housing Conditions Program that addresses critical home repairs that allow youth to remain safely housed  Program that addresses environmental hazards (mold, air quality, utilities issues) Partnerships offering safe, temporary placements for youth in crisis Housing Navigation & Supportive Services Case management, advocacy, and navigation for families facing housing challengesCoordinated care approaches that reduce system barriersPrograms connecting families to long-term housing solutions
