Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $192,130 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) supports A Community Of Friends, a non-profit organization and community development corporation, in providing housing assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the Los Angeles area.

The funding will enable A Community Of Friends to implement community-wide strategies to quickly rehouse the homeless population while minimizing trauma, promoting access to resources, and fostering self-sufficiency. This aligns with the Continuum of Care Program's goals of addressing homelessness through a coordinated approach that combines housing and supportive services. A Community Of Friends has consistently received these project grants from HUD over the past several years and has utilized additional sub-awards from Enterprise Community Partners, Inc. to enhance its operations and expedite housing placements.
