Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $754,810.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) to the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative, Inc. (MDHI), a non-profit organization in Denver, Colorado. The grant, with a period of performance from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024, supports MDHI's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Denver metro area while minimizing the trauma caused by homelessness, promoting access to mainstream resources, and fostering self-sufficiency. Funding for this award enables MDHI to coordinate a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. As the collaborative applicant for the region, MDHI leverages this federal grant to address homelessness through a comprehensive, community-wide approach in partnership with nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and public housing agencies.
