Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $377,328.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Emergence Health Network (EHN), a non-profit organization serving as the local mental health authority in El Paso, Texas. The grant will fund EHN's efforts to provide housing and supportive services to homeless individuals and families in the region, with the goal of quickly rehousing them while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities under this grant include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. EHN has been a consistent recipient of federal grants from HUD and other agencies like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to support its comprehensive approach to addressing mental health and social service needs in the El Paso community.
