Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $587,929 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Housing Opportunities For Women, Inc. (H O W), a Chicago-based nonprofit organization. The grant, with a performance period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will enable H O W to provide comprehensive housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Chicago metropolitan area. Key services to be delivered include rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, rental assistance, case management, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and connections to mainstream resources. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and optimizing self-sufficiency.
