Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $139,047 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Covenant House New Jersey, Inc. The funding, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, supports the organization's efforts to provide transitional housing, outreach services, and case management to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Newark, New Jersey while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. As a comprehensive Continuum of Care program recipient, Covenant House New Jersey also leverages additional federal grants, such as from the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services, to expand its services for vulnerable populations including victims of human trafficking and homeless youth. The organization's focus on implementing community-based strategies to address homelessness aligns with the Continuum of Care Program's goal of ending homelessness through coordinated service delivery.
