Continuum of care program

This $3,107,764 Continuum of Care Program grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (CFDA 14.267) supports the provision of housing assistance, rental subsidies, and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Houston, Texas area. The grant recipient, Houston Area Community Services, Inc. (HACS), will use the funding to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and promote access to mainstream resources to optimize self-sufficiency. The grant activities encompass a range of eligible services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and homelessness prevention. HACS will also leverage sub-grant partnerships with local entities to deliver emergency rental assistance, housing support for individuals with AIDS, and COVID-19-related emergency financial assistance, further enhancing the organization's comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness in the Greater Houston metropolitan area.
