Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $399,103.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Sakhi For South Asian Survivors, Inc., a non-profit organization in Brooklyn, New York. The grant will fund Sakhi's efforts to provide comprehensive support services for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and homelessness. Key services to be delivered include transitional and permanent housing assistance, emergency aid, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and economic empowerment programs. The grant enables Sakhi to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency within the target population. Additionally, Sakhi has received sub-awards from the New York State Office of Victim Services to further extend its capacity to provide culturally tailored and linguistically specific victim assistance services.
