Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $660,369 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant to the Bolivar County Community Action Agency, Inc. in Cleveland, Mississippi. The grant, with a performance period from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025, will enable the non-profit organization to provide rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and wraparound case management services to support housing stability for homeless individuals and families in the local community. As a Continuum of Care Program grant, the funding aims to quickly rehouse the homeless, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. The Bolivar County Community Action Agency, Inc. is a long-standing recipient of these HUD grants, leveraging the federal assistance to deliver comprehensive, community-based social services focused on addressing poverty, homelessness, and early childhood education in Mississippi.
