Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $263,775 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Garden State Community Development Corp, doing business as Jersey City Episcopal C D C, to provide housing and support services for homeless individuals and families in Union City, New Jersey. The one-year grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, will fund a range of activities including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and supportive services such as case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The organization collaborates with local nonprofits and government entities to deliver these comprehensive community-based interventions aimed at quickly housing homeless populations, minimizing trauma, promoting self-sufficiency, and reducing overall housing insecurity in the region.
