The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $325,936 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Connections For The Homeless, a non-profit organization based in Evanston, Illinois. The grant supports the organization's efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness in the local community.
Specifically, the funding enables Connections For The Homeless to provide a range of services, including operating emergency shelters, conducting street outreach, participating in coordinated entry systems, offering homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing assistance, and providing tenant-based rental assistance with comprehensive case management. The organization works closely with local government agencies and other non-profit partners to coordinate a community-wide approach to addressing youth homelessness, with the goal of decreasing the number of youth experiencing homelessness and improving outcomes such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
