Continuum of care program

This $369,102 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on November 1, 2024 supports the efforts of Access Services, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. The funding will enable Access Services to provide a range of services to address homelessness, including street outreach, mental health and substance abuse programs, and transitional housing solutions. Access Services' initiatives are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness, with a focus on supporting vulnerable populations such as minority faith communities, Hispanic and Latino communities, and the Black community in Greater Philadelphia. The grant activities align with the Continuum of Care Program's goals of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness, enhancing access to mainstream programs, and optimizing self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity.
