This $512,665 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, supports the Erie County Department of Mental Health (ECDMH) in providing comprehensive services to address homelessness in the Buffalo, NY area. The grant funding will be used to carry out eligible CoC activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by reducing the length of time homeless, preventing returns to homelessness, and facilitating exits to permanent housing. ECDMH frequently collaborates with Bestself Behavioral Health, Inc. as a sub-awardee partner to deliver permanent housing and related supportive services. This award, with a performance period beginning March 11, 2025, is part of HUD's ongoing efforts to promote community-wide strategies to address homelessness.
