This $754,429 federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), supports a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in Providence, RI. The grant funding can be used for eligible activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and homelessness prevention. The primary objectives are to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. The grant recipient, Rhode Island Housing, is a quasi-public housing agency that serves as the state's primary affordable housing organization. As the grant awardee, Rhode Island Housing will collaborate with nonprofit providers, state and local governments, and other partners to implement these housing and supportive service initiatives across the community.
