Continuum of care program

The City of Oakland Human Services Department received a $880,755 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The grant, with a performance period from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025, will fund the department's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Oakland, California while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by providing funding for nonprofit providers, state and local governments to deliver permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives. As a local government agency, the City of Oakland Human Services Department plans to leverage this federal grant award to expand and improve homeless services in the Oakland community, potentially partnering with local nonprofit organizations as sub-awardees to comprehensively address the complex challenge of homelessness.
