Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $151,876 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Ors 190 Entity, Mid-Willamette Valley Homeless Alliance, a local government council of governments in Salem, Oregon. The funding supports the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Mid-Willamette Valley region while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention, with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for homeless populations. This one-year award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, enables the Mid-Willamette Valley Homeless Alliance to develop and operate housing projects, provide supportive services, and implement collaborative community strategies to address homelessness in the region.
