Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $146,952 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Supporters Of Abuse Free Environments, Inc. (SOAFE), a non-profit organization in Hamilton, Montana. The funding supports SOAFE's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency through a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including emergency shelter, advocacy, counseling, education, and homelessness prevention for victims of domestic and intimate partner violence. As the sole provider of these essential services in the rural Ravalli County region, SOAFE plays a vital role in addressing domestic violence and supporting survivors. The organization also receives sub-awards through state agencies to further expand its capacity to serve victims and prevent domestic violence in the community.
