This Project Grant award of $204,699 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the efforts of A Community Of Friends, a non-profit organization and community development corporation in Los Angeles, California. The funding will enable A Community Of Friends to provide housing assistance and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the local area.
The grant allows A Community Of Friends to implement a range of eligible activities under the Continuum of Care Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. This aligns with the program's goals of promoting community-wide strategies to quickly rehouse homeless populations, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and foster self-sufficiency. As a sub-awardee, A Community Of Friends has also utilized capacity-building grants to enhance its operations and expedite housing placements, supporting administrative positions and its housing development department.
