Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $674,458.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267). The award supports the YWCA of Dayton, a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive services to address homelessness, domestic violence, and sexual assault in Montgomery and Preble counties, Ohio. The funding will enable the YWCA to deliver a range of services, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, rapid re-housing, crisis intervention, counseling, case management, and support services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The YWCA utilizes a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach and evidence-based models like the Housing First model to assist vulnerable populations in securing permanent housing and achieving independence. The award period is from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
