Continuum of care program

The City of Savannah was awarded a $935,275 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on December 1, 2024. The grant funds will support the city's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Savannah, Georgia, while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Key activities include providing tenant-based rental assistance, operating costs, salaries, and a range of supportive services to help clients access permanent housing options.

The City of Savannah is partnering with the Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless, a non-profit organization, to administer the program. The sub-grants totaling $172,909 and $433,111 will enable the Chatham-Savannah Authority to coordinate community-wide homeless prevention strategies, implement homeless management information systems, and deliver comprehensive support services to address the needs of the local homeless population.
