Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $136,100 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to PLM Families Together, a non-profit organization in Raleigh, North Carolina. This funding supports the organization's initiatives to address homelessness by providing temporary housing, case management, rapid rehousing, and homelessness prevention services. PLM Families Together focuses on quickly housing homeless individuals and families while minimizing the time they spend without permanent housing. Additionally, the organization has received sub-grants from local government entities to provide emergency shelter, hotel vouchers, rental assistance, and transitional bridge housing for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or qualifying as homeless. Key projects include the construction of a 4-unit emergency non-congregant shelter expansion and the implementation of a crisis response system using a low-barrier, housing-focused approach to homelessness. Through this award and sub-awards, PLM Families Together delivers a range of housing and supportive services to combat homelessness in the local community.
