The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $251,742 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the County of Montgomery in Dayton, Ohio on March 11, 2025. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide strategies to end homelessness by providing funding to nonprofit organizations, state/local governments, and public housing agencies.
The grant will support the County of Montgomery's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The specific sub-award activities to be performed are unknown at the time of the award. The grant aims to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness by improving performance metrics such as length of homelessness, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
