The grant funding will support the organization's efforts to provide transitional housing, permanent housing placements, and comprehensive supportive services aimed at ending homelessness in Puerto Rico. The award period is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

The organization has received over $5 million in Continuum of Care grants since 2019 to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing time spent without permanent housing.
