Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) provides $1,725,028.00 to Family Rescue, a nonprofit organization in Chicago, Illinois. The funding supports Family Rescue's efforts to provide a continuum of care to address homelessness and domestic violence in the local community.

Key services delivered through this grant include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and other supportive services. Family Rescue also operates emergency shelters and provides counseling and legal advocacy for domestic violence victims. In addition to the prime award from HUD, Family Rescue receives sub-awards from state agencies, such as the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, which enhance its offerings for domestic violence victims, including temporary shelter, counseling, and legal advocacy. The federal and state funding enables Family Rescue to deliver a comprehensive range of services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing trauma.
