This federal Project Grant award of $180,364 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the Salvation Army Western Territory, a non-profit organization, in providing a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Palos Verdes Peninsula area.
The funding will enable the Salvation Army to carry out eligible CoC Program activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The organization may use the grant to acquire, rehabilitate, or lease properties; provide rental assistance; and deliver supportive services to help homeless individuals and families quickly obtain and maintain housing while promoting self-sufficiency. The expected outcomes include reducing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness and improving performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
