Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $3,341,873 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Aids Foundation of Chicago (AFC) for the project period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. The CoC Program is a federal grant initiative designed to address homelessness by providing funding for housing and supportive services.

Through this grant, AFC will deliver a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. The primary objectives are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. AFC collaborates with local government agencies, healthcare providers, and community organizations, including sub-partners like the Center for Housing and Health, Christian Community Health Center, and Housing Opportunities for Women, to provide comprehensive support services to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS in the Chicago metropolitan area.
