Continuum of care program

This U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant award of $543,062 provides funding to Connections For The Homeless, a non-profit organization based in Evanston, Illinois, to deliver a range of services to prevent and end homelessness in the local community. The award, effective May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, supports Connections For The Homeless' operations of emergency shelters, street outreach, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and tenant-based rental assistance with case management. As a key partner in the local continuum of care system, the organization coordinates with government agencies and other non-profits to provide comprehensive support to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including specialized services for youth populations. The federal grant funding has enabled Connections For The Homeless to significantly expand its shelter capacity and enhance its ability to stabilize those in need.
