This $138,970 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program project grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development on March 11, 2025, will support the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of St. Paul in delivering a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the St. Paul, Minnesota area.
The CoC Program (CFDA 14.267) is designed to promote community-wide strategies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities under this grant include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The YWCA of St. Paul, a non-profit organization, will use these funds to provide housing, case management, and other supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families in the St. Paul community and helping them achieve greater self-sufficiency.
