Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $431,960 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Womens Center For Advancement (WCA), a non-profit organization in Omaha, Nebraska. This Project Grant, awarded on January 1, 2024, will fund WCA's efforts to provide comprehensive housing assistance and supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, prevent homelessness, and aid victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in the local community. The grant will support WCA's range of programs, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and other services aimed at promoting self-sufficiency and minimizing trauma for vulnerable populations. WCA has also received sub-awards from state and local government agencies to expand its services, including funding for bilingual advocates, crisis counselors, and self-sufficiency managers.
