Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $119,021 Project Grant to Edge New Jersey, Inc., a woman-owned non-profit organization doing business as New Jersey Aids Services. This grant, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, supports Edge New Jersey's efforts to provide comprehensive housing and support services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with a particular focus on populations affected by HIV/AIDS. The funding enables Edge New Jersey to deliver a range of services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rental assistance, housing placement, case management, counseling, and education. These services are designed to help the target population quickly obtain permanent housing, minimize the trauma associated with homelessness, and promote self-sufficiency. The consistent renewal of these CoC Program grants from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development indicates Edge New Jersey's effectiveness in delivering critical social services and meeting federal program objectives for addressing homelessness and supporting at-risk populations.
