Continuum of care program

The Housing Authority of Bergen County received a $127,677 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) to provide critical housing assistance and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in Hackensack, New Jersey and the surrounding Bergen County area. The grant, awarded on December 1, 2023, will enable the Housing Authority to deliver a comprehensive array of housing solutions and support programs through December 30, 2024. These include rapid re-housing, permanent housing placements, transitional housing, homelessness prevention activities, and coordinated entry services to quickly secure stable housing for those experiencing homelessness while promoting self-sufficiency. As a prime recipient of HUD's Continuum of Care funding, the Housing Authority has consistently secured grants to address homelessness in the local community, having received over $10 million in such awards over the past five years.
