This federal Project Grant award of $215,677 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the efforts of Instituto Pre-Vocacional E Industrial De P.r. Inc., a minority-owned, woman-owned non-profit organization and community development corporation in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The funding will enable the organization to provide transitional housing, rapid re-housing, and supportive services to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness. The organization's diverse activities include delivering direct services and shelter for victims of crime, offering short-term rent, mortgage, and utility assistance for individuals with HIV/AIDS, and participating in disaster recovery efforts, showcasing its comprehensive approach to community support and development. This CoC Program award aligns with the initiative's goal of promoting community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and providing funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to address this critical issue.
