The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $159,684 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the We Care Program - Turlock, a non-profit organization based in Turlock, California. This grant funding will support the organization's efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families in the local community while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
Key activities to be performed under this grant include operating emergency shelters, transitional housing programs, and providing a range of supportive services such as housing placement, case management, and homelessness prevention assistance. In addition to the HUD grant, We Care Program - Turlock has also received sub-awards from the City of Turlock and County of Stanislaus to further support its emergency shelter operations and public service programs. The combination of federal and local funding enables the organization to develop a comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness in the Turlock area.
