Continuum of care program

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 $344,888.00 to the Maine State Housing Authority (MaineHousing) to support efforts to address homelessness in Maine. The CoC Program funds a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, and transitional housing, as well as case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training services. This grant award will enable MaineHousing to implement community-wide strategies and coordinate with nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and public housing agencies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing trauma. The grant has a performance period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024.
