This federal Project Grant award of $261,084, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), is intended to fund efforts by the non-profit United Communities Against Poverty, Inc. to quickly house homeless individuals and families in Capitol Heights, MD while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The funding will support a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness through performance measures such as reduced length of homelessness, fewer returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing. While the specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of award, the Continuum of Care Program is designed to promote community-wide strategies to address homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit providers, state, and local governments.
