Continuum of care program

This $652,866 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, provides funding to Shelter House Community Shelter And Transition Services, a nonprofit organization based in Iowa City, Iowa. The grant supports Shelter House's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the community, while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and promoting self-sufficiency. Specifically, the funding enables Shelter House to deliver a range of housing and support services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, rental assistance, housing rehabilitation, and homeless prevention. This comprehensive approach aims to address homelessness across different vulnerable populations, including veterans, through case management, transitional housing, and housing stability services.
