This CoC Program grant will support the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County's efforts to provide a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention services. The specific sub-recipient activities are unknown at the time of the award. As a public housing agency, the Housing Authority will leverage these federal funds to deliver comprehensive housing assistance and community support programs to low-income families, elderly residents, and individuals with disabilities across Contra Costa County, California.
