Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $168,734 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition, Inc. The grant period runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025. The Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition, Inc., a non-profit organization, will use the funding to provide a range of critical services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Lawrence, Kansas and minimize the trauma of homelessness. Key services include permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) administration. The organization collaborates with Kansas Housing Resources Corp as a sub-grantee, particularly in managing HMIS activities for the Kansas Balance of State Continuum of Care. The overarching goals are to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, enhance access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity.
