Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award of $121,557.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the County of Chester, doing business as Chester County Bar Foundation, in providing a range of housing assistance and supportive services to address homelessness in West Chester, PA.

The grant funding enables the County and its key sub-awardees, including Community Youth & Women's Alliance, Kennett Area Community Service, Open Hearth Inc., Housing Authority of Chester County, and Legal Aid of Southeastern PA, to deliver rapid re-housing, rental assistance, shelter upgrades, permanent supportive housing, homelessness prevention, employment programs, transportation access, and senior care services. These coordinated efforts aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma, promoting access to mainstream resources, and fostering self-sufficiency within the local community.
