Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $806,283 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the Long Island Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. (LICH), a non-profit organization based in Amityville, NY. The grant funding will support LICH's comprehensive efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Long Island region, minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

LICH has previously received multiple federal grants under the Continuum of Care Program, ranging from approximately $471,831 to $910,178, and has collaborated with sub-partners such as the Town of Brookhaven and the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc. to execute street outreach and COVID-19 crisis counseling activities. The grant period runs from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
