The grant, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024, will support Chautauqua Opportunities' efforts to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties while promoting self-sufficiency. Services may include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. The award is part of HUD's broader strategy to fund community-wide approaches to ending homelessness through coordination among nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and public housing agencies.
