Continuum of care program

This $408,417.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) supports the efforts of Safe Embrace, a non-profit domestic violence shelter organization based in Reno, Nevada. The funding will enable Safe Embrace to provide a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness and help victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking secure stable housing and achieve self-sufficiency. Key services include transitional and permanent housing, emergency shelter, counseling, case management, legal assistance, crisis intervention, and prevention education. Safe Embrace has received over $1.8 million in recent years through federal grants from HUD's Continuum of Care Program and the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, as well as sub-awards from state agencies, to fund these critical support services for vulnerable populations in the Reno area.
