Continuum of care program

The County of Greene in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania was awarded a $200,607 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267). This federal project grant, with a performance period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025, supports the county's efforts to address homelessness through a range of housing and supportive services. The CoC Program provides funding for permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and homelessness management information systems. As a local government entity, the County of Greene will leverage this award to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. The county has a history of successfully securing and administering multiple federal grants from agencies such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Appalachian Regional Commission to support comprehensive community development initiatives.
