The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $442,286 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Family Promise of Sussex County Inc., a non-profit organization and domestic shelter in Newton, New Jersey. The grant funding is intended to be used to provide a wide range of services to quickly house homeless individuals and families in the local community while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities under this grant include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. By leveraging these federal funds, Family Promise of Sussex County can offer rental assistance, stabilization services for those living on the street or in shelters, and support for households at risk of homelessness due to eviction or other eligible causes. The award aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the area by focusing on performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
