Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,534,756.00 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to the SL County Housing Authority, doing business as Housing Connect, on November 1, 2024. The grant will support Housing Connect's efforts to provide permanent housing, rapid re-housing, transitional housing, and homelessness prevention services to address homelessness in South Salt Lake, UT through October 31, 2025.

As a local government housing agency, Housing Connect delivers a range of federal housing programs and services to vulnerable populations, including low-income residents, homeless individuals, and families. In addition to the Continuum of Care Program grant, Housing Connect administers other HUD funding sources such as the Public Housing Capital Fund, Public Housing Operating Fund, Family Self-Sufficiency Program, and Jobs-Plus Pilot Initiative grants. The organization also collaborates with sub-awardees like Salt Lake City Corporation and the Utah Department of Workforce Services to provide specialized rental assistance programs.
