Continuum of care program

This Project Grant award of $110,843.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports Catalyst Domestic Violence Services, a non-profit domestic violence shelter organization, in providing a range of housing assistance and supportive services for domestic violence survivors and their families in Chico, CA. The funding enables Catalyst to deliver emergency shelter, counseling, court accompaniment, and advocacy services. The organization also uses CoC Program funding, as well as pass-through funding from the California Office of Emergency Services under the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), to operate a domestic violence-specific rapid rehousing program and offer comprehensive services including emergency shelter, counseling, court advocacy, and targeted support for the LGBTQ community experiencing domestic violence. This federal grant award, with a performance period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, builds on Catalyst's history of successfully delivering housing and supportive services through prior CoC Program and Community Development Block Grant awards.
