The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $569,750 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance, Inc. (CMHA), a non-profit organization. The grant, which runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, supports CMHA's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the Worcester, MA area. Funded activities include rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) implementation, and homelessness prevention. CMHA partners with entities like the City of Worcester to deliver assessment, referral, placement, data collection, and service coordination. The grant funding enables CMHA to provide a range of housing-related services, such as acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, leasing, and rental assistance, as well as supportive services including case management, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. Through these diverse initiatives, CMHA aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, and promote self-sufficiency.
