Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $314,668.00 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 was awarded to the Municipio De San Juan, a U.S. local government entity in Puerto Rico, on November 1, 2024 with a project period ending on October 31, 2025. The CoC Program provides funding to nonprofit organizations and state/local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention, with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for homeless populations. The Municipio De San Juan, through its dedicated Program of Federal Affairs Division, has been highly successful in securing various federal grants, including multiple CoC Program awards, to support community development, housing, transportation, public health, and social services in the San Juan metropolitan area.
