Continuum of care program

The City of Trenton was awarded a $661,648 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support a range of housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Trenton, NJ area. The grant, which runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will fund activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The Continuum of Care Program is a comprehensive federal initiative designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. The City of Trenton's Grants Management Division will likely partner with local nonprofits, public housing authorities, and state departments to implement the grant-funded programs and address the community's homelessness challenges.
