Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $268,842 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) was provided to Operation Hope Of Fairfield, Inc. to deliver housing assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals and families in Fairfield, Connecticut. The funding, which is effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, enables Operation Hope to quickly rehouse homeless persons and minimize the trauma of homelessness through a range of services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. Additionally, Operation Hope has received sub-award funding from the Town of Fairfield through Community Development Block Grants/Special Purpose Grants, which has supported the operation of their food pantry, community kitchen, emergency rental assistance, and pandemic-related supplies and cleaning services.
