Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $921,230 project grant to the North Memphis Community Development Corporation (NMCDC). The award, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, supports NMCDC's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the Memphis, TN area. The grant funding enables NMCDC to provide transitional and permanent housing, tenant-based and project-based rental assistance, supportive services such as case management and job training, building rehabilitation to create additional housing units, and implementation of homeless management information systems. These activities are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency among participants.
