Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $127,586.00 is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant funds will support the provision of housing assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in Minneapolis, Minnesota by the non-profit organization Volunteers of America of Minnesota, doing business as Care Options Network.

The funding will be used to provide rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, and rental assistance to the homeless population in Minneapolis. This aligns with the CoC Program's goal of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Volunteers of America of Minnesota has previously received multiple CoC Program grants of approximately $120,000 to $130,000 annually to address homelessness in the area.
