Continuum of care program

This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports Albergue El Paraiso Corp, a non-profit community development corporation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in delivering a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the region.

The $329,861 grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, enables Albergue El Paraiso Corp to provide rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. These services are designed to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and support vulnerable populations in achieving stable, independent living. The grant funding allows the organization to continue its long-standing efforts to address homelessness in the San Juan area through a comprehensive, community-based approach.
