The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $228,718 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Sabine Valley Regional MHMR Center, doing business as Community Healthcore, to provide housing assistance and supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in Longview, TX. The CoC Program is designed to promote community-wide efforts to end homelessness by funding initiatives that minimize trauma and promote self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness.
Through this grant, Community Healthcore will implement a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems, and potentially homelessness prevention. The organization, a local government-owned community center, has extensive experience delivering mental health, substance abuse, and housing assistance services to vulnerable populations in rural Northeast Texas. This federal grant award will enable Community Healthcore to continue its comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness in the Longview area.
