Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $337,017 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The Continuum of Care Program funds community-based strategies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Under this award, DMH will utilize the funds to provide a range of eligible activities, which may include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As the state mental health authority, DMH will partner with local service providers, non-profit organizations, and academic institutions to implement these grant-funded initiatives and deliver comprehensive mental health services to address homelessness across Massachusetts.
