This Project Grant award of $747,553 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the Schenectady Community Action Program, Inc. (Scap) in providing housing assistance and supportive services to address homelessness in Schenectady County, New York. The funding enables Scap to deliver a range of services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, rental assistance, and comprehensive support to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The award aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by focusing on performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. As a sub-grantee, Scap also receives additional federal funding from sources like the Community Services Block Grant to implement a holistic approach to poverty alleviation and community development in the local area.
