Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $108,903 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the New Horizons Community Service Board in Columbus, Georgia. The grant supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities under the Continuum of Care Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. The award will be used by the New Horizons Community Service Board, a state government entity serving multiple counties in West Central Georgia, to deliver comprehensive behavioral health and supportive services to address critical community needs related to mental illness, developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders. This federal grant award is part of HUD's efforts to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and enhance access to mainstream programs to optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity.
