Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $152,430 project grant to Back Bay Mission, Incorporated, a non-profit organization based in Biloxi, Mississippi. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, with a completion date of August 31, 2025, will support the organization's initiatives to address homelessness in the Gulf Coast region.

The grant funding will enable Back Bay Mission to provide a range of comprehensive services, including permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. These services are designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize homelessness-related trauma, and facilitate self-sufficiency. The organization has consistently received similar grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development over the past several years, demonstrating its effectiveness in implementing targeted homeless assistance programs in the Biloxi area.
