Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $100,000 Continuum of Care Program project grant to The Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board, Inc. (doing business as Kentuckianaworks) on December 1, 2024. The grant funding will support Kentuckianaworks' efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Louisville, KY, and provide supportive services to promote self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for the homeless population. The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is a federal initiative designed to address homelessness nationwide by funding nonprofit organizations and state/local governments to deliver permanent housing, transitional housing, and other services. Kentuckianaworks, a non-profit workforce development organization, specializes in providing comprehensive employment, training, and housing support services, with a focus on vulnerable populations such as homeless youth, ex-offenders, and public assistance recipients. This federal grant award will enable Kentuckianaworks to continue its strategic approach to addressing community challenges and promoting economic opportunity through targeted programming.
