Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $146,626.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Options For Independence, a non-profit organization in Houma, Louisiana. This funding will support the organization's efforts to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while promoting their self-sufficiency. Key services include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. As a recurring HUD grantee, Options For Independence has consistently received approximately $146,000 to $155,000 in annual Continuum of Care Program funding over the past five years to deliver these community-based interventions to address homelessness in the Houma area.
