Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $103,238.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The funding supports Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts, Inc., a non-profit organization, in delivering comprehensive homeless services and housing assistance primarily to vulnerable individuals and families in the Southeastern Massachusetts region.

The organization administers multiple initiatives through this award, including the Francis House program which provides permanent supportive housing for homeless youth, and the Cornerstone Project, which offers scattered-site housing and case management for chronically homeless individuals and families. Additionally, Catholic Charities partners with local government entities to implement housing prevention, rapid rehousing, and coordinated entry services. This award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, is part of HUD's broader efforts to quickly rehouse the homeless and promote self-sufficiency through the Continuum of Care Program.
