Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a Project Grant of $133,571.00 to Inspiration Corporation Chicago, a non-profit organization, under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). This funding will support Inspiration Corporation's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Chicago metropolitan area, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. Inspiration Corporation also serves as a sub-awardee for the Illinois Department of Human Services, distributing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to address food insecurity among its clients. This holistic approach combines housing assistance, employment services, and nutritional support to combat homelessness and poverty, offering both immediate aid and long-term support to help individuals and families achieve stability and independence.
