Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $265,757 project grant to Open Door Community House, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Georgia. The grant, awarded on December 1, 2024, supports Open Door Community House's comprehensive community-based strategies to address homelessness. The funding enables the organization to provide a suite of critical services, including housing assistance, case management, rental assistance, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment. These targeted interventions aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Columbus area, minimize trauma, and support their transition to stable, self-sufficient living conditions, demonstrating a strategic approach to addressing complex social challenges through federal grant funding.
