Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $636,279.00, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the City of Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development in delivering a range of housing and social services to address homelessness.

The funding will enable the City of Boston to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and promote self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The City of Boston frequently collaborates with local nonprofit partners like Pine Street Inn, HomeStart, Familyaid Boston, and Metro Housing to distribute sub-grants and expand service delivery. This award, with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, reflects the federal government's commitment to supporting community-based solutions to address homelessness nationwide.
