The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $313,417 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA #14.267) grant to Sacramento Steps Forward, a nonprofit organization based in Sacramento, California. This Project Grant supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Sacramento region through community-wide strategies.
The funding enables Sacramento Steps Forward to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, emergency shelter operations, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing solutions. The organization also operates Homeless Management Information Systems, conducts outreach to homeless populations, and delivers essential supportive services such as case management, job training, mental health treatment, and substance abuse support. This comprehensive approach aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing the trauma associated with homelessness.
