Continuum of care program

This Project Grant award of $411,807.00 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the Utility Emergency Services Fund of Philadelphia (UESF), a non-profit organization, in providing comprehensive supportive services to address housing insecurity for vulnerable populations, particularly veterans and low-income families, in the Philadelphia area. The funding enables UESF to deliver essential services including outreach, case management, assistance in obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rent, utility payments, security deposits, and moving costs. These services aim to prevent homelessness and promote housing stability for the target population. UESF has a consistent track record of effectively utilizing federal grants from HUD and the Department of Veterans Affairs to address housing insecurity in the Philadelphia community.
