Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $235,521 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Bay Area Community Services, Inc. on May 21, 2024. As a nonprofit dedicated to addressing homelessness, Bay Area Community Services provides a comprehensive range of housing and homelessness services, including rapid re-housing, housing problem solving, street outreach, prevention services, emergency shelter operations, and coordination of local Coordinated Entry Systems. This funding will support the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Oakland, CA area, minimize trauma, and promote self-sufficiency. Additionally, Bay Area Community Services operates as a sub-grantee under the City of Berkeley, delivering intensive case management, housing assistance, outreach to encampments, and coordinating the local Coordinated Entry System to ensure high-need unsheltered individuals receive necessary interventions to promptly end their homelessness.
