Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $109,998 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Second Chance Center Inc., a Colorado-based nonprofit organization. The grant, effective from May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025, supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Aurora, CO area while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

The grant funds will enable Second Chance Center Inc. to provide a comprehensive range of services, including case management, mentoring, substance use and behavioral health treatment, housing assistance, food aid, and supportive housing programs. Key activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services targeted at addressing the complex needs of the homeless population, including domestic violence survivors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. The organization has also received sub-grants to enhance its capacity in developing affordable housing solutions and implementing tenant-based voucher programs in collaboration with local partners.
