This federal Project Grant award of $262,779 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant supports Care Corps Inc., a non-profit organization based in Fremont, Nebraska, that is dedicated to addressing homelessness and housing insecurity.
Through this funding, Care Corps provides a range of services aimed at quickly housing homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency. These services include street outreach, emergency shelter, transitional housing, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing assistance. The award will enable Care Corps to continue delivering comprehensive case management, counseling, and job training programs to alleviate homelessness and facilitate access to permanent housing solutions in the Fremont area. As a sub-recipient, Care Corps has also leveraged additional funding from state agencies to expand its capacity and respond to emerging needs, such as COVID-19 support for homeless populations.
