Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $363,709 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to House of Ruth, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. The grant, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will enable House of Ruth to provide comprehensive supportive services and housing assistance to survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, as well as individuals and families experiencing homelessness. The funding will support House of Ruth's efforts to deliver transitional housing, rental assistance, case management, safety planning, financial counseling, support groups, job training, and housing relocation assistance to vulnerable populations in the Washington, D.C. area. This grant builds on House of Ruth's extensive experience in administering similar HUD and Department of Justice grants to address homelessness and domestic violence in the community.
