This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), is designed to support community-based efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The $123,174 grant, awarded on March 11, 2025, will enable the non-profit organization Lutheran Social Services of Northern California to deliver a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention assistance. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Concord, CA area by addressing their housing and support service needs. The specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, but the organization has a track record of implementing coordinated community approaches to address homelessness, with a focus on assisting vulnerable populations such as homeless youth and persons living with HIV/AIDS.
