Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $2,190,536 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the NYC Department of Social Services (DSS) in delivering housing-related initiatives and social services to address homelessness in New York City. The funding, valid from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, enables DSS to provide permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention services. As a key recipient of CoC Program grants, DSS collaborates with the New York State Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance to execute multi-faceted social service programs that aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.
