Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (Maine DHHS) a $2,467,740 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to provide permanent supportive housing and related services to address homelessness in Maine. The grant supports rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. Maine DHHS is sub-awarding a portion of these funds to Shalom House, a non-profit domestic shelter in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to deliver permanent supportive housing and rental assistance paired with supportive services. The program aligns with the Continuum of Care Program's objectives to promote community-wide strategies and coordination to swiftly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
