This $637,912 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) on March 11, 2025, will enable the City of Philadelphia's Office of Homeless Services to provide a range of housing and supportive services to address youth homelessness.
Specifically, the funding will support the establishment and operation of projects under five program components: 1) permanent housing, including permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing, 2) transitional housing, 3) supportive services, 4) homeless management information systems (HMIS), and 5) homelessness prevention. Eligible activities include leasing, rental assistance, supportive services, operating costs, HMIS implementation, and administrative costs. The grant aims to decrease the number of youth experiencing homelessness by reducing the length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and increasing exits to permanent housing.
The City of Philadelphia's Managing Director's Office, which oversees the Office of Homeless Services, will administer the grant and potentially sub-award portions to local nonprofit providers to deliver the comprehensive housing and support services.
