This federal Project Grant award of $761,241 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the efforts of the Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness (doing business as Community Partnership) to quickly house homeless individuals and families in the Washington, D.C. area.
The funding will be used to provide a range of eligible CoC activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The organization plays a crucial role in coordinating community-wide efforts to address homelessness by redistributing significant portions of the grant funding through sub-awards to other local non-profit homeless assistance providers. The grant aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by reducing the length of homelessness, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
