Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $316,318 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Project Grant to the Goddard-Riverside Community Center in New York, NY. The grant will support the organization's efforts to address homelessness through a range of housing assistance and supportive services from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. Key activities include rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services, case management, housing placement support, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The CoC Program is a comprehensive federal initiative designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. Goddard-Riverside Community Center, a non-profit organization, has a history of effectively delivering targeted interventions to reduce homelessness and support housing stability for vulnerable populations in the New York City region.
