Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), funds Upward Bound House, a non-profit organization in Santa Monica, California, to provide rapid re-housing and supportive services to homeless families with children.

The $286,785 annual grant supports Upward Bound House's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The funding covers rental assistance, employment training, landlord engagement, and individualized case management services for up to 12 months per family. This award aligns with the CoC Program's goals of addressing homelessness through community-based strategies. Upward Bound House has received multiple CoC grants over the years and also partners with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to operate additional rapid re-housing programs in the region.
