Continuum of care program

The Clinton County Housing Coalition, Inc. was awarded a $216,032 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The funding supports the Coalition's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Lock Haven, Pennsylvania area through a range of housing assistance and supportive services.

The grant provides resources for the Coalition to deliver temporary and transitional shelter, street outreach, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, specialized housing and services for vulnerable populations, and data collection related to homelessness. The organization has also received sub-awards from the Emergency Solutions Grant program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, which have been crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic to secure temporary shelters, provide hotel/motel vouchers, and offer case management, life skills training, legal services, and transportation for homeless and near-homeless households impacted by the pandemic. This federal grant award demonstrates the Coalition's vital role in addressing housing insecurity and homelessness in Clinton County.
