Continuum of care program

The City of Boston, through its Department of Neighborhood Development, has been awarded a $860,549 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) for the period of December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2024. This grant supports the city's efforts to address homelessness in the Boston metropolitan area through a range of housing assistance and supportive services. The funding will be used to implement initiatives such as rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and other services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency. The Department of Neighborhood Development also collaborates with local nonprofit partners, such as FamilyAid Boston Inc., which received a sub-grant to operate the Home Advantage Collaborative program as part of the larger CoC initiative.
