Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $289,020 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Matthew House Chicago, a minority-owned, woman-owned non-profit community development corporation, to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services to address homelessness in the Chicago area. The grant, which runs from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024, supports Matthew House's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the time they spend without shelter. The funding enables Matthew House to deliver a holistic approach encompassing housing, nutrition, and other supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. Matthew House has consistently received federal Continuum of Care grants from HUD, demonstrating its critical role in delivering comprehensive solutions to help the homeless population in Chicago transition into stable living conditions.
