This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) provides $787,776 to the County of Prince George, doing business as Prince George's County Department of Social Services, to fund efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The funds will be used to support a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The award is intended to help decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by addressing the length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. While the specific subrecipient activities are unknown at this time, the grant will enable the County of Prince George to continue its community-wide approach to ending homelessness through nonprofit, state, and local government partnerships.
