Continuum of care program

The United Way of the Mohawk Valley, Inc. received a $246,756 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The grant supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Utica, NY area while promoting self-sufficiency. Specific program activities include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. As a sub-grantee under the Empire State Poverty Reduction Initiative, United Way of the Mohawk Valley has also partnered with Deliverance First Ministries to develop and operate extended childcare programs for at-risk children in Utica. The CoC Program aims to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity.
