Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $152,839.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) supports Aiding Women From Abuse & Rape Emergencies Inc. (AWARE), a non-profit organization based in Juneau, Alaska. The funding enables AWARE to provide comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal advocacy, counseling, and prevention programs. This award is part of HUD's efforts to address homelessness through housing assistance and supportive services, with a focus on quickly rehousing individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. AWARE has also received federal grant sub-awards from other agencies to support victim services, legal advocacy, facility operations, and primary prevention activities related to domestic violence, dating violence, and sexual assault throughout the region.
