Project Grant NC0145L4F012414

This $102,588 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 the efforts of Homeward Bound of Western North Carolina, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Asheville, NC, to address homelessness in the region. The funding will enable Homeward Bound to provide a range of eligible CoC Program activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The key objectives are to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. While the specific sub-recipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, the Continuum of Care Program supports comprehensive housing and support services delivered by nonprofit providers, state and local governments to address homelessness in communities across the United States.
