Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $137,237 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Mercy Housing Lakefront, a not-for-profit organization in Chicago, Illinois. The grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will support a range of housing and supportive services aimed at quickly transitioning individuals and families from homelessness to stable, permanent housing. Eligible activities under this federal grant program include permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Mercy Housing Lakefront's comprehensive approach focuses on minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency for those experiencing homelessness, with a track record of consistent federal grant funding to deliver these critical services.
