Continuum of care program

The Center For Hope And Safety, a nonprofit organization in Salem, Oregon, received a $438,226 Project Grant award under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant, effective January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, supports the organization's efforts to provide housing assistance and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

The Center For Hope And Safety offers a range of services through this federal grant and sub-awards, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, and rental assistance. Additionally, the organization receives sub-awards from the Oregon Department of Justice and Oregon Department of Human Services to fund victim advocacy, community engagement, and other supportive services for vulnerable populations, particularly underserved Latinx communities. These comprehensive, culturally competent services are delivered by a team of advocates, outreach supervisors, and other specialized staff positions.
