The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $333,533 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to The Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Rochester and Monroe County, N.Y. The grant, with a performance period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will support the YWCA's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Rochester, NY, while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. The award will fund a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a frequent recipient of HUD's Continuum of Care grants, the YWCA has a proven track record of delivering comprehensive community support services to address critical social challenges like homelessness, domestic violence, and supporting vulnerable populations.
