Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $124,412 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Humankind Ministries Wichita Inc., a nonprofit domestic shelter in Wichita, Kansas. The award provides funding from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024 to support the organization's efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize time spent homeless, and provide comprehensive support services. Past HUD grants have enabled Humankind Ministries to operate homeless shelters, isolation sites for COVID-19 positive individuals, and deliver case management, meals, laundry, and personal protective equipment. As a subrecipient under the City of Wichita, they have used prior funding to purchase apartment furnishings and supplies for homeless housing transitions. The Continuum of Care Program aims to promote community-wide strategies to end homelessness through support of local service providers like Humankind Ministries Wichita Inc.
