Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) has awarded a $1,988,460 Project Grant to the Jewish Family Service Agency (JFSA), a non-profit organization in Las Vegas, NV. This 3-year grant, effective from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will enable JFSA to provide housing assistance, counseling, and support services for seniors, homeless individuals, and students in need within the Las Vegas community.

As a prime and sub-awardee, JFSA has leveraged additional federal funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service to operate volunteer-based programs such as the Senior Companion Program and Foster Grandparent Program. These initiatives engage volunteers to offer companionship, tutoring, and academic support. JFSA has also collaborated with the City of Las Vegas and Clark County to utilize Community Development Block Grants to enhance its senior assistance programs, convert and renovate facilities, and rapidly rehouse individuals at increased risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
