Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $197,344 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the Chattanooga Regional Homeless Coalition, Inc. for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The grant funding supports the coalition's efforts to address homelessness in the Chattanooga region, including providing a range of critical services such as permanent housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS) implementation. The grant specifically targets populations such as youth under 24, individuals with disabilities, and families experiencing homelessness, with key activities involving rental assistance, housing relocation and stabilization services, and supportive services to help participants obtain and maintain housing. The Continuum of Care Program is a comprehensive federal initiative designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency.
