Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,184,621 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to The Urban League of Portland, Inc. on September 1, 2023. The grant supports the organization's efforts to address homelessness in the Portland, OR metro area through a range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, and rental assistance. The program aims to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing their time without permanent housing and promoting self-sufficiency. The Urban League of Portland has also received federal sub-awards to provide rental protection services and support infectious disease response efforts. This federal grant award advances the Continuum of Care Program's community-wide strategy to end homelessness through coordinated services delivered by nonprofit providers, state/local governments, and public housing agencies.
