This $194,819 Project Grant award, made by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), aims to support the Augusta-Richmond County Government's efforts to address homelessness in the Augusta, Georgia area. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit providers, state and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The award will enable the Augusta-Richmond County Government to carry out eligible activities under the CoC Program, which include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. Key intended outcomes are to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by reducing the length of time homeless, minimizing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing. The specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award.
