Continuum of care program

This $367,921 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) supports the delivery of comprehensive housing and supportive services by Community Missions of Niagara Frontier, Inc. in Niagara Falls, NY. The funding enables the organization to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, and promote self-sufficiency through activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, rental assistance, case management, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. The grant specifically focuses on serving youth under 24 years old and broader homeless populations, with the goal of decreasing homelessness, reducing the length of time individuals remain homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
