Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $152,589 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Alliance For Children & Families Inc., doing business as Alliance Emergency Residence, located in Alliance, Ohio. This one-year grant, effective from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and promote long-term self-sufficiency through a range of services. The funding enables Alliance Emergency Residence to provide temporary shelter, rapid rehousing, rental assistance, case management, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The organization also receives supplemental funding from Stark County and the Ohio Department of Development to deliver these comprehensive support services to the local homeless population.
