Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program awarded a $513,800 project grant to the Alliance To End Homelessness in Hillside, Illinois. The CoC Program is a comprehensive federal initiative designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize homelessness trauma, and promote self-sufficiency.

This grant funding supports a wide range of housing and supportive services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The Alliance To End Homelessness collaborates with several sub-grantees, such as Crisis Center For South Suburbia, Wings Program Inc., Anew Building Beyond Violence And Abuse, Pillars Community Health, Arab American Family Services, Sarahs Inn, and YWCA Evanston / North Shore, to deliver coordinated entry, street outreach, safety planning, and comprehensive support services to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, with a particular focus on domestic violence survivors.
