This federal Project Grant award of $117,949 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) is designed to support efforts by the County of Barnstable, Massachusetts to address homelessness in the region.
The award will fund a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The objectives are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, promote access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. While the specific sub-recipient activities are not known at the time of award, the CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and public housing agencies to implement these community-based strategies to address homelessness.
