Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $2,742,737.00 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) to Renaissance Social Services Inc. (RSSI), a nonprofit organization in Chicago, Illinois. The grant funds RSSI's efforts to provide coordinated intake, assessment, referral, and housing services to combat homelessness in Chicago. Through this award, RSSI delivers clinical and behavioral health services, including substance abuse prevention and treatment, homelessness prevention, outreach, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing solutions. Additionally, RSSI has received sub-awards from HUD's Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness program and the Illinois Department of Human Services, supporting initiatives such as the Substance Abuse Block Grant (SABG), Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment, and Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services. The funding enables RSSI to offer comprehensive services that promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness by quickly housing individuals and families while minimizing time spent without permanent housing.
