Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $6,750,000 Continuum of Care Program grant to Metropolitan Family Services, a non-profit organization in Chicago, Illinois. The grant will fund the organization's efforts to provide a wide range of housing assistance and supportive services aimed at addressing homelessness in the Chicago metropolitan area from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2027. Key activities to be delivered under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. By leveraging partnerships with local government agencies, school districts, and other non-profits, Metropolitan Family Services will work to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources across the community.
