Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $169,232.00 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The award supports Arise Lawrence County, a non-profit domestic shelter organization in New Castle, Pennsylvania, in delivering comprehensive housing assistance, supportive services, and community-based interventions to address homelessness and assist victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The funding will be used to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, and supportive services to help vulnerable populations achieve stability, safety, and self-sufficiency. Arise Lawrence County collaborates with local partners to implement these programs, which are aimed at quickly rehousing individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness, in alignment with the overall goals of the CoC Program. The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
