Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $286,170 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to Mid-Coast Family Services, a non-profit organization based in Victoria, TX. The grant, with a performance period of November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024, will fund the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.

The grant supports Mid-Coast Family Services' provision of a comprehensive range of housing assistance and supportive services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. Additionally, the organization coordinates with local communities to deliver crisis counseling, legal advocacy, hospital accompaniment, and operate a 24-hour crisis hotline. The funding will also enable Mid-Coast Family Services to renovate a facility for use as a day center for homeless individuals and families, further expanding its capacity to serve vulnerable populations in South Texas.
