Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $253,980 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the City of Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development. This Project Grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, supports the city's efforts to address homelessness through a range of housing assistance and supportive services.

The grant funding will enable the Department of Neighborhood Development to implement programs focused on rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. These services aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting their self-sufficiency. The department will collaborate with local nonprofit partners, including Justice Resource Institute, Inc., which received a $59,682 sub-award to provide rapid rehousing and replacement services for the city's youth homeless demonstration program.
