This Project Grant award, valued at $599,622 and awarded on March 11, 2025, is provided through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The purpose of the CoC Program is to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The funding will support Sojourner House, Inc., a non-profit organization in North Providence, RI, in delivering a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program. This includes providing permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and implementing a Homeless Management Information System. The award will enable Sojourner House to continue its work in addressing homelessness in the local community, with the expected outcomes of decreasing the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness and improving measures such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing.
