This federal Project Grant award of $1,235,927 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is intended to support the County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Santa Cruz, CA while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The funding may be used for eligible activities such as permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. The expected outcomes include decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, reducing the length of time spent homeless, and increasing exits to permanent housing. As the award recipient, the County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency will serve as the lead entity in implementing these community-based strategies to address homelessness in the region. The specific subrecipient activities are not known at the time of the award.
