Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded Sojourner House, Inc. a $338,562 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) with a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to address homelessness by providing funding for nonprofit providers, states, and local governments to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma.

Through this grant, Sojourner House will provide comprehensive support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in North Providence, Rhode Island. The organization will leverage the funding to offer emergency and transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, case management, crisis intervention, safety planning, immigration legal assistance, counseling, and specialized support for vulnerable populations including youth, LGBTQ+ individuals, undocumented victims, and survivors with disabilities. Sojourner House collaborates with various sub-recipients and partners to deliver trauma-informed, wraparound services to address the complex needs of victims of violence and those experiencing homelessness.
