Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $286,712 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center of St. Clair County Inc., a minority-owned non-profit organization, to provide a range of services addressing homelessness, mental health, and substance abuse issues in East St. Louis, Illinois. The funding supports the center's efforts to rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Key services include case management, job training, and supportive services, as well as mental health and substance abuse treatment programs. The organization has received consistent annual Continuum of Care Program funding since 2022 and also receives sub-awards from the Illinois Department of Human Services for initiatives such as the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program.
