The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant in the amount of $167,708 to Child And Family Charities, a non-profit organization based in Lansing, Michigan. The CoC Program (CFDA 14.267) is designed to promote community-wide efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
Through this Project Grant award, Child And Family Charities will utilize the funding to provide a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The organization's work will focus on decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the local community by improving outcomes such as reduced length of homelessness, returns to homelessness, and increased exits to permanent housing. The specific sub-award activities are unknown at the time of this award.
