Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $476,955 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Rochester Housing Authority (RHA) on September 1, 2024. This one-year project grant will support RHA's efforts to provide permanent and transitional housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Rochester, NY metropolitan area. The CoC Program funding enables RHA to quickly rehouse homeless individuals while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency through a comprehensive range of housing and social support services, including case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and financial literacy programs. As a local government housing agency, RHA has consistently secured HUD funding across multiple programs to maintain decent, safe, and affordable housing options and foster community development for low-income residents.
