Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $112,691.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant supports Catalyst Domestic Violence Services, a non-profit organization in Chico, CA, in delivering comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence and their families. The funding enables Catalyst to provide emergency shelter, counseling, court accompaniment, and legal advocacy to help domestic violence survivors achieve safety and self-sufficiency. Additionally, the organization utilizes sub-grants from the California Office of Emergency Services, funded by the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), to implement specialized programs such as a domestic violence-specific rapid rehousing initiative. This combination of federal grant funding allows Catalyst to offer a holistic range of housing, counseling, and supportive services to assist domestic violence victims in the Chico area. The grant award period is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.
