The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $225,188 Continuum of Care Program grant to The Montgomery County Coalition For The Homeless, Inc. (MCCH) on March 11, 2025. The Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) provides funding to address homelessness through community-based strategies that quickly rehouse individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency.
Under this grant, MCCH will utilize the funds to provide a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Potomac, Maryland area by reducing the length of time homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and supporting exits to permanent housing. MCCH, a non-profit organization, specializes in delivering comprehensive housing and rehabilitation services to vulnerable populations, particularly homeless veterans and individuals with severe mental illness.
