The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $346,589 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Sacramento Steps Forward, a nonprofit organization serving the Sacramento, CA region. This Project Grant funding will support the organization's efforts to address homelessness through a range of eligible activities, including:
Permanent housing, transitional housing, and rapid rehousing assistance to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant will also fund supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and in some cases, homelessness prevention initiatives. As the lead agency for Sacramento's Continuum of Care, Sacramento Steps Forward collaborates with local government, nonprofits, and service providers to leverage these federal resources and develop comprehensive strategies to end homelessness in the community. The grant period is from March 11, 2025 to an unspecified date.
