This $477,422 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program project grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) aims to address homelessness in Newark, Ohio. The grant funds will enable the Licking Metropolitan Housing Authority to provide a range of housing and supportive services, including:
Permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and transitional housing for homeless individuals and families
Supportive services to help program participants obtain and maintain housing
Operating costs for supportive housing units
Implementation and operation of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS)
The expected outcomes include decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, reducing the length of time people are homeless, and increasing exits to permanent housing. The sub-awardee details are not provided, but the Licking Metropolitan Housing Authority, a local government housing authority, will be responsible for delivering these services to the target population in the Newark area.
