This federal Project Grant award of $2,580,793 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the Chicago House And Social Service Agency, a non-profit organization, in providing housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Chicago area.
The funding will enable Chicago House And Social Service Agency to deliver a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The agency aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The award supports the agency's efforts to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness through performance indicators such as reduced length of homelessness, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing.
