Continuum of care program

The County of Mendocino Social Services received a $1,828,303 Project Grant award under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). This grant, awarded effective July 1, 2024, with a completion date of June 30, 2025, supports a range of comprehensive homeless assistance programs in the Ukiah, California area and broader Mendocino County region.

The funding enables the County to provide critical services and interventions aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families, minimizing trauma, and promoting self-sufficiency. Key activities include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and supporting services such as case management, mental health treatment, substance abuse support, and job training. The grant allows the County to either deliver these services directly or through partnerships with local service providers. This federal award demonstrates the County's sustained commitment to addressing homelessness and improving the quality of life for vulnerable populations in the Mendocino County community.
