Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $139,311 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the Housing Resource Center of Monterey County. This grant, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, supports community-wide efforts to address homelessness in the Salinas, CA area. The funding will be used to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. The goal is to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting their self-sufficiency and minimizing trauma. The Housing Resource Center of Monterey County will serve as the primary grantee, and may sub-award a portion of the funds to other eligible nonprofit providers, state/local government agencies, or public housing authorities in the region to deliver these services.
