Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $312,905.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) and awarded to Matthew House Chicago Division, a minority-owned, woman-owned non-profit community development corporation. The grant funding supports Matthew House's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Chicago area while minimizing the time they spend homeless. Specifically, the grant enables Matthew House to provide a range of services including food, daytime shelter, permanent supportive housing, and other supportive services aimed at ending homelessness in the Chicago region. Additionally, Matthew House has been a sub-recipient of grants from the Illinois Department of Human Services for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), allowing it to further address homelessness through nutrition assistance. This federal grant award demonstrates Matthew House's critical role as a nonprofit provider delivering housing solutions and comprehensive services to help the homeless population in Chicago transition into stable living conditions.
