Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $104,636 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Chautauqua Opportunities, Inc., a non-profit community development corporation in Dunkirk, NY. The grant will fund a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. The primary objectives are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. This award is part of HUD's broader Continuum of Care Program, which provides funding to support comprehensive solutions to address homelessness across the United States.
