Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $104,707 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to La Perla De Gran Precio, Inc., a minority and woman-owned nonprofit organization in Puerto Rico. The grant funding, which is effective from November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025, will support La Perla De Gran Precio's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the region.

Specifically, the grant will enable La Perla De Gran Precio to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, emergency shelters, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems. Additionally, the organization has secured sub-awards from the Puerto Rico Department of the Family, Municipio De San Juan, and Puerto Rico Department of Justice to expand its service offerings, including HIV prevention, disaster recovery, domestic violence victim support, child abuse prevention, and critical outreach programs. Through this diverse range of housing and social services, La Perla De Gran Precio aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness and promoting self-sufficiency.
