Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $343,457.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports the Northwestern Ohio Community Action Commission, Inc.

Eligible activities under this award include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. Through this funding, NOCAC aims to promote self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for the local homeless population in Defiance. The award period runs from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025.
