Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $654,862 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Womenrising, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Jersey City, New Jersey. The grant, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will enable Womenrising, Inc. to provide a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness and domestic violence in the local community. The funded activities include affordable housing, counseling, education, and resources aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency. Additionally, Womenrising, Inc. has received sub-grants from the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to support domestic violence intervention services. The organization's comprehensive approach and track record of utilizing federal grant funding, including previous Continuum of Care Program grants, demonstrate its critical role as a community resource for vulnerable populations in the Jersey City area.
