This is a Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The $569,617 grant, awarded on March 11, 2025, is intended to fund efforts by the non-profit organization Human Solutions, Inc. to address homelessness in the Portland, Oregon area.
The grant will enable Human Solutions to provide a range of eligible services under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The organization will use the funds to rapidly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma caused by homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. Human Solutions may also utilize the grant to administer sub-awards to partner organizations for direct service delivery in the Portland region. The grant award supports Human Solutions' broader mission to counter poverty and promote self-sufficiency through initiatives aimed at ending homelessness and providing affordable housing solutions.
