Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $146,448.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award was granted to Climb Community Development Corporation, a non-profit organization in Gulfport, Mississippi, to support comprehensive efforts to house and support homeless youth and families.

The funding enables Climb Community Development Corporation to provide a range of critical services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) implementation, and homelessness prevention. The primary objectives are to decrease the number of youth experiencing homelessness, reduce the duration of homelessness, minimize returns to homelessness, and increase successful transitions to permanent housing. The award has a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
