The grant was awarded to Coalicion De Coaliciones Pro Personas Sin Hogar De Puerto Rico Inc., a non-profit organization based in Ponce, Puerto Rico, to deliver a range of housing and supportive services designed to quickly house homeless individuals, minimize trauma, promote access to mainstream programs, and optimize self-sufficiency for vulnerable populations in the Ponce region. Key activities funded under this award include permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) implementation, and homelessness prevention. The organization has also established strategic partnerships, including sub-awards with the Puerto Rico Department of the Family and Foothold Technology, Inc., to enhance its service delivery. This grant supports Coalicion De Coaliciones' efforts to provide comprehensive services such as outreach, data management, housing relocation, stabilization services, and short-to-medium-term rental assistance, all aimed at reducing homelessness and supporting individuals and families in transitioning to stable housing environments.
