Continuum of care program

This $488,388 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program will fund a range of services to address and prevent homelessness in suburban Cook County, Illinois. The primary awardee, Alliance To End Homelessness, will coordinate street outreach, community outreach, system partner engagement, homelessness prevention, diversion, and rapid resolution efforts. This includes managing a flexible fund to support activities like housing location, relocation services, and other supportive services. The award also supports a youth-focused coordinated entry system, providing coordinated intake, assessment, safety planning, and housing placement for unaccompanied youth ages 18-24 who are homeless or at-risk. Alliance To End Homelessness will collaborate with several sub-awardees, including Connections For The Homeless, Northwest Compass Inc., Proactive Community Service, Housing Forward, and Beds Plus, Inc., to deliver these comprehensive services across the region.
