Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $757,219.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The funding supports comprehensive efforts by the lead agency, Alliance To End Homelessness, and its sub-awardees including Housing Forward, Respond Now, Beds Plus, Journeys | The Road Home, Connections For The Homeless, and South Suburban Pads, to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in suburban Cook County, Illinois while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Key services delivered through this funding include street outreach, coordinated entry systems, permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The sub-awardees collaborate extensively to provide a wide range of housing and supportive services targeting diverse homeless populations such as families, chronically homeless individuals, veterans, and unaccompanied youth.
