Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $170,492 project grant to the Portsmouth Area Resources Coalition (Parc), Inc., a non-profit organization based in Portsmouth, Virginia. The grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, will support Parc's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the Portsmouth community.

The funding will enable Parc to deliver a range of services, including rapid rehousing, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training programs. These interventions aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. Parc has demonstrated a consistent track record of implementing targeted initiatives to address homelessness in the Portsmouth area through its previous HUD Continuum of Care grant awards.
