This Project Grant award of $208,976, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), will support efforts to address homelessness in Orange County, North Carolina.
The funding will enable Orange County NC, the awardee, to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities under this grant include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The county plans to leverage these funds to deliver a range of critical services to the local homeless population, such as rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, and comprehensive case management. This award is part of HUD's broader strategy to promote community-wide commitments to end homelessness through collaborative approaches involving nonprofit providers, state and local governments.
