This $478,138 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports efforts by the Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) to address homelessness in the Santa Ana, CA region. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit providers, state/local governments, and public housing agencies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
Through this award, OCHA will utilize the funds for eligible CoC activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific services may include rental assistance, housing relocation, stabilization, case management, and connecting participants to mainstream resources to optimize their self-sufficiency. The award aims to decrease homelessness by reducing the length of time individuals/families experience homelessness, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
