Continuum of care program

The Ecker Center for Behavioral Health, Inc. has been awarded a $118,162 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This one-year award, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, will fund the Ecker Center's provision of housing assistance, mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, case management, and other support services to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse disorders. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide strategies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, and optimize self-sufficiency. As a non-profit organization, the Ecker Center has a history of delivering these evidence-based services through over 20 previous federal grant awards from HUD, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
