This federal Project Grant award of $267,396.00 is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant aims to promote community-wide efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, while minimizing the trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention.
The sub-awardee, the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence (PCADV), is a non-profit organization that will use the funding to provide a range of critical services for victims of domestic violence across Pennsylvania. This includes emergency hotlines, shelters, counseling, advocacy, and prevention programs to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness as a result of domestic violence. The grant will also fund PCADV's efforts to coordinate with state and federal agencies to ensure comprehensive support for domestic violence survivors.
