This $396,334 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) on March 11, 2025, supports the efforts of Housing Matters, a non-profit organization in Santa Cruz, California, to address homelessness. The grant funding enables Housing Matters to provide a range of services, including outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining public benefits, and temporary financial aid for housing-related expenses such as rent, utilities, and security deposits. These services aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and promote self-sufficiency. The award also allows Housing Matters to leverage additional funding sources, such as grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs, to deliver a comprehensive approach to combating homelessness in the community.
