This federal Project Grant award of $517,130 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The purpose of the CoC Program is to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and optimize self-sufficiency.
The grant funds may be used for a variety of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Specific uses could include rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services, and short- or medium-term rental assistance to prevent homelessness. The expected outcomes are to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, as measured by performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. The subrecipient activities are not specified in the award details provided.
