Project Grant FL0922D4D022403

This federal Project Grant award of $272,014 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 end homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness.

The funding will support the Society of St. Vincent De Paul South Pinellas, Inc., doing business as St. Vincent De Paul Cares, in delivering a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention efforts. As a non-profit organization focused on providing comprehensive housing and support services to homeless and at-risk individuals, particularly veterans, St. Vincent De Paul Cares will leverage this funding to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the St. Petersburg, Florida area.
