This Project Grant award of $317,010 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) will support efforts by the Kansas Housing Resources Corp, a state government entity, to quickly house homeless individuals and families in the Topeka, KS area while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The funding can be used for a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness through performance measures such as reduced length of homelessness, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing. While the specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, the CoC Program generally involves partnerships with local governments, community action agencies, and nonprofit organizations to deliver services at the community level.
