Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $256,908 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the County of Union, New Jersey, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. This grant funding will support the county's efforts to provide critical services for homeless individuals and families, including transitional housing, rapid re-housing, and supportive services. As a local government entity, the County of Union has demonstrated expertise in leveraging federal grants to address community needs, particularly in the areas of housing, homelessness prevention, and social services. The Continuum of Care Program is a nationwide initiative designed to promote community-based solutions to homelessness, and this award will enable the County of Union to continue its work in quickly re-housing individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness.
