Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $385,612 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Family Promise of Sussex County Inc., a domestic shelter and non-profit organization based in Newton, New Jersey. The award, with a performance period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024, will enable Family Promise of Sussex County to provide rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and other support services to homeless individuals and families in the Newton area.

As a sub-recipient, Family Promise of Sussex County has also utilized federal funding from HUD's Community Development Block Grants Program (CFDA 14.218) and the Department of Health and Human Services' Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program to deliver temporary housing, case management, and financial assistance for home heating/cooling costs to low-income households in the region. The organization's efforts align with the Continuum of Care Program's goals of quickly transitioning homeless community members into permanent housing while minimizing time spent in shelters.
