This federal Project Grant award of $429,370 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) provides funding to the County of Ventura, California to support a range of activities to address homelessness in the local community.
Specifically, the grant enables the County of Ventura to utilize CoC Program funds for eligible costs associated with establishing and operating projects across the five CoC program components: permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. This includes costs for leasing structures, providing rental assistance, delivering supportive services, operating supportive housing, and implementing HMIS systems. The funding aims to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, improve access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness in Ventura County.
