This federal Project Grant award of $147,707 was made on March 11, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The purpose of the CoC Program is to promote community-wide efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing trauma and promoting self-sufficiency.
The grant funds will be used by the El Paso Coalition for the Homeless, a nonprofit organization, to provide a range of eligible activities under the CoC Program including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and potentially homelessness prevention. The specific sub-recipient activities are not known at the time of the award. As a key player in local homelessness efforts, the Coalition will implement projects that aim to decrease the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the El Paso area through services such as rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, case management, mental health/substance abuse treatment, and job training.
