Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $131,816 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to the Family Abuse Center, a domestic shelter and non-profit organization based in Waco, Texas. The grant, with an award date of November 1, 2023 and an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024, will fund the center's provision of a range of housing assistance and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. These services include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, transitional housing, case management, counseling, legal advocacy, crisis intervention, and other programs aimed at quickly rehousing homeless persons while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources. As a subrecipient, the Family Abuse Center also receives additional federal funding through the Texas Office of the Governor and Health and Human Services Commission to operate domestic violence shelters, crisis response teams, and court advocacy programs across multiple counties.
