This Project Grant award of $151,192 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program provides funding to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development to support a range of eligible activities focused on addressing homelessness in the Richmond, VA area. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. The overarching goals of the CoC Program are to promote community-wide efforts to quickly house homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma and dislocation caused by homelessness, improve access to mainstream services, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. The specifics of the sub-award activities are not known at the time of this grant announcement, but the funding is intended to contribute to a decrease in the number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the region, as measured by performance indicators such as length of time homeless, returns to homelessness, and exits to permanent housing. This CoC Program grant award is effective from March 11, 2025.
