Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $188,310.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports Appleseed Community Mental Health Center, Inc., doing business as Appleseed Counseling, a non-profit organization in Ashland, Ohio. The award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, enables Appleseed Counseling to provide a range of housing and support services to address homelessness in the local community. This includes rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, and critical supportive services such as case management, job training, mental health treatment, and substance abuse support. In addition to HUD's CoC grants, Appleseed Counseling also receives sub-awards from state-level entities to fund specific programs like the Annual Mental Health Block Grant, State Opioid Response grant, Crime Victim Services, and COVID-19 emergency funding. The organization's comprehensive service offerings are designed to quickly rehouse individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency.
