Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program awarded $611,560.00 to Hope House, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Lee's Summit, Missouri, to provide a range of housing and supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and their families.

The grant, awarded on Dec 1, 2024 with a completion date of Nov 30, 2025, will fund Hope House's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities under the CoC Program (CFDA #14.267) include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. Hope House has secured multiple federal grants to deliver critical social services focused on victim support, housing assistance, and community intervention. The organization previously received awards from agencies such as the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and the Office for Victims of Crime to support programs like the Transitional Housing Assistance and the Companion Animal Project.
