Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $790,731 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Ottawa County Community Mental Health, a local government entity in Michigan, to provide housing assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. This one-year Project Grant, with a period of performance from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, will enable Ottawa County Community Mental Health to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The CoC Program is designed to address homelessness through comprehensive community-based strategies, with eligible activities including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. As a critical provider of mental health and substance use disorder services in Ottawa County, Ottawa County Community Mental Health will leverage this federal grant to implement a range of programs and services to assist the local homeless population.
