Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,415,002 Continuum of Care Program grant to Rhode Island Housing, a quasi-public housing authority, on January 1, 2024. The grant supports community-wide efforts to address homelessness in Providence, RI through a range of housing assistance and supportive services. The funding aims to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency. Key services include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, and other support to minimize trauma and connect clients to mainstream resources. Rhode Island Housing often partners with nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and public housing agencies to implement these federally-funded initiatives that benefit low- and moderate-income residents throughout the state.
