Continuum of care program

This $446,898 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, CFDA 14.267, supports Apna Ghar Inc., a non-profit organization in Chicago, Illinois, in providing comprehensive, culturally-specific services to immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

The funding will enable Apna Ghar Inc. to deliver a range of critical social services focused on supporting vulnerable populations, particularly homeless and at-risk individuals and families from immigrant and marginalized communities. This includes emergency shelter, permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and mental health advocacy. The organization's mobile advocacy services also create specialized mobile mental health service delivery units to perform community outreach, provide case management, and connect marginalized persons to essential support services throughout the 9th Congressional District of Illinois.
