The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development awarded County of Passaic $314,087 under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) on February 1, 2026, for the period ending January 31, 2027.
The Continuum of Care Program funds efforts by nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, promote access to mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families, and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Funding may be used for eligible costs to establish and operate projects under five program components: permanent housing (including permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities and rapid rehousing), transitional housing, supportive services only, Homeless Management Information Systems, and in some cases homelessness prevention.
County of Passaic, headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey, serves as the recipient. Place of performance is Paterson, NJ 07505. County of Passaic operates primarily in the federal grant space as either a direct HUD recipient or sub-recipient of state pass-through funding. The county has received multiple Continuum of Care project grants within the fiscal year cycle for permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and HMIS infrastructure serving Passaic County.
