This federal Project Grant award of $222,123 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the mission of Operation Hope of Fairfield, Inc. to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Fairfield, Connecticut while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. The award enables the organization to provide a range of eligible services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. Over the past six years, Operation Hope has utilized over $1.9 million in Continuum of Care Program funding to deliver critical housing assistance and supportive services to the local homeless population, with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency and reducing returns to homelessness. The organization has also received sub-award funding from the Town of Fairfield to operate its food pantry and community kitchen in response to increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
