This $104,710 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, CFDA 14.267, supports Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne, a Connecticut state government entity, in delivering a range of services to address homelessness in the state.
The funding will enable Mental Health & Addiction Services Conne to provide eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The organization will leverage its existing infrastructure and partnerships to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Key deliverables may include rental assistance, case management, housing counseling, and mental health/substance abuse treatment services. The award is intended to contribute to overall decreases in homelessness across Connecticut communities.
