Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $134,340.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Rochester Housing Authority (RHA) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The Continuum of Care Program provides funding to support a range of housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, with the goal of quickly rehousing them, minimizing trauma, and promoting self-sufficiency.

As a local government housing agency, RHA will use this grant to deliver a comprehensive set of services including permanent and transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, supportive services, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and financial literacy programs. The grant funding enables RHA to maintain and operate its portfolio of public housing units and housing choice vouchers, which serve approximately 26,000 low-income residents in the Rochester metropolitan area.
