Continuum of care program

This $152,671 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the Institute For Community Living Inc. (ICL) in delivering comprehensive housing and supportive services to address homelessness in Bowling Green, New York.

The funding enables ICL, a nonprofit community development organization, to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention for vulnerable populations, including individuals with psychological, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. ICL also leverages sub-awards from entities like the City of New York and Research Foundation For Mental Hygiene, Inc. to deliver specialized services such as HOPWA permanent supportive housing, COVID-19 crisis counseling, and integrated behavioral health treatment. By coordinating community-based care focused on mental health, housing stability, and social support, ICL aims to promote self-sufficiency and end homelessness for diverse populations, including veterans, immigrants, and individuals with complex healthcare needs.
