Eligible activities include COC planning, unified funding agency fiscal control and accounting for subrecipient disbursals, acquisition and rehabilitation of real property for housing or supportive services, and new construction. The period of performance runs through July 31, 2027, with place of performance in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and provide funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation, promoting access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency.
