Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $161,875 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Community Alliance For The Homeless, Inc., a non-profit organization in Memphis, Tennessee. The funding will support the organization's efforts to provide a range of housing assistance and supportive services aimed at quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families in the Memphis and Shelby County area. Services include temporary housing placements, counseling, skill-building, and prevention initiatives designed to transition those experiencing homelessness into stable, permanent residences while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency. As a sub-awardee, Community Alliance For The Homeless has also partnered with the Tennessee Department of Health on projects related to epidemiology and laboratory capacity for infectious diseases. This grant award, valid from November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024, enables Community Alliance For The Homeless to play a crucial role in coordinating a community-wide system of housing and services for those experiencing homelessness in the Memphis region.
