Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $354,821.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award was granted to the County of Chester, doing business as the Chester County Bar Foundation, located in West Chester, Pennsylvania.

The funding will support the county's efforts to address homelessness through a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. This aligns with the CoC Program's goal of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and promoting self-sufficiency. The county has a history of collaborating with local non-profit organizations, community service providers, and educational institutions to deliver these critical services to the community.
