Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $128,863.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award was granted to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, a nonprofit organization located in Saratoga Springs, NY, to support community-based services addressing homelessness in the Saratoga, Warren, and Washington County regions.

The funding will be used to provide a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The overarching goals are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote self-sufficiency, and increase access to mainstream resources for vulnerable populations. This award is part of HUD's broader nationwide effort to address homelessness through community-based solutions.
