The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $408,191 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the County of Fulton in Atlanta, Georgia on March 11, 2025. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide strategies to end homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The grant funding will be used by the County of Fulton to deliver a range of eligible CoC Program activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The County of Fulton may act as both a prime recipient and sub-recipient for this grant, potentially partnering with local nonprofit organizations and service providers to implement the various programmatic components. The expected outcomes of the grant include decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, reducing the length of time people remain homeless, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
