The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $243,596 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the County of Santa Cruz Planning Department on March 11, 2025. The CoC Program funds efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant funds may be used for eligible activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As the sub-awardee, the County of Santa Cruz Planning Department will administer a range of services aimed at addressing homelessness in the local community, including rapid rehousing, rental assistance, case management, and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. The department will also leverage Community Development Block Grants to fund community initiatives like housing rehabilitation, public facility improvements, and economic development projects.
