Continuum of care program

The County of Bergen 1 received a $100,693 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development. The award, effective May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, will support the county's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Hackensack, NJ, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. As a key component of HUD's strategy to address homelessness through community-based initiatives, the Continuum of Care Program provides funding to state and local governments, housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations for activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services. This grant will enable the County of Bergen 1 to deliver a range of housing assistance and support programs tailored to the specific needs of the local homeless population.
