Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $200,080.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The grant will support The Lancaster General Hospital (LGH), a non-profit healthcare provider in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in delivering a range of services to address homelessness in the local community. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention, with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for homeless individuals and families. The award period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. Through this funding, LGH will collaborate with various entities, such as the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, to implement targeted interventions, including promoting safe firearm storage, preventing youth opioid misuse, providing mental health services, offering pregnancy support services, and supporting victims of child abuse.
