Continuum of care program

This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), will provide $147,446.00 to Stark County Mental Health And Addiction Recovery (StarkMHAR) to support a range of housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Canton, OH. The funding will enable StarkMHAR to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS) to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. As a key regional entity focused on mental health and addiction services, StarkMHAR will leverage this CoC Program grant to coordinate multi-organizational partnerships and deliver targeted interventions for those experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, and substance use disorders in Stark County.
