This $254,400 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports Mecklenburg County's efforts to address homelessness in the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area. The funding will be used to establish and operate a range of eligible CoC program components, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The award aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by reducing the length of time homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and facilitating exits to permanent housing. The sub-recipient activities are not specified at the time of award. This grant demonstrates HUD's commitment to promoting community-wide strategies to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and optimizing self-sufficiency.
