Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $160,094 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Lowndes Associated Ministries To People (Lamp), Inc., a non-profit organization in Valdosta, Georgia. This grant, with a performance period of November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2024, supports Lamp's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Valdosta community while minimizing the trauma associated with homelessness. The funding enables Lamp to provide a range of supportive services, including housing assistance, case management, and linkage to mainstream resources, to rapidly rehouse people experiencing homelessness. Lamp has consistently received Continuum of Care Program grants since at least 2019, demonstrating its role in implementing HUD's strategies to combat homelessness in the Valdosta area and contribute to the national objective of reducing and ending homelessness.
