Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care Program has awarded a Project Grant of $331,109 to the Violence Intervention Program, Inc., a non-profit organization in New York City, to provide comprehensive services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse, with a focus on underserved Latinx and immigrant communities. The grant, effective September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024, will fund the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The grant supports a wide range of services, including transitional housing, counseling, legal aid, hotline support, and culturally specific outreach and intervention programs. The Violence Intervention Program also received a federal grant sub-award to develop trauma interventions for children, adolescents, and parents affected by domestic violence.
