Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $143,000 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the Alliance To End Homelessness, a non-profit organization. This grant funding will enable the Alliance to provide a range of housing and supportive services to rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Cook County, Illinois region. Key activities include street outreach, coordinated entry, housing placement, and supportive services delivered through collaborative partnerships with local non-profit organizations. The Alliance also administers HUD's Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program grants and Community Development Block Grants to comprehensively address homelessness. As the lead agency for the Cook County Continuum of Care, the Alliance coordinates sub-awards to local governments and service providers to support homeless outreach, data management, coordinated entry, and pandemic response efforts.
