Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award in the amount of $106,744, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the efforts of West County Community Services, a non-profit organization based in Guerneville, CA. This grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, enables West County Community Services to continue its work in addressing homelessness in the local community. The funding will be used to implement and maintain the CoC Program, which aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The organization provides a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, and rapid re-housing programs. This federal grant award, part of HUD's ongoing partnership with West County Community Services, demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting community-based strategies to address the critical issue of homelessness.
