Project Grant SC0230L4E032400

This 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), is intended to support comprehensive housing and support services to address homelessness in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina region. The $247,400 grant, awarded on June 9, 2025, will enable the non-profit organization Eastern Carolina Homelessness Org, Inc. (ECHO) to deliver a range of eligible activities, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The goal is to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Myrtle Beach area by quickly housing them, minimizing the trauma of homelessness, and promoting access to mainstream resources to optimize self-sufficiency. While the specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award, ECHO has a history of securing federal grants and contracts, particularly from HUD and the Department of Veterans Affairs, to provide housing and support services for vulnerable populations such as veterans, youth, and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
