Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $112,324 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to the Commission on Economic Opportunity of Luzerne County, a Pennsylvania non-profit organization. This funding will support the organization's implementation of rapid rehousing initiatives, homelessness prevention programs, and supportive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families throughout Wilkes-Barre and the surrounding region. As a prime recipient of over $2M in CoC Program grants, the Commission has delivered a wide array of community services aimed at promoting economic self-sufficiency and housing stability for vulnerable populations. The organization has also partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs to coordinate outreach, case management, temporary financial assistance, and other services to help very low-income veteran households maintain permanent housing.
