The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $208,640 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Action In Community Through Service Of Prince William (ACTS), a domestic shelter and non-profit organization in Dumfries, VA. This one-year project grant, effective from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, will enable ACTS to deliver a range of housing and supportive services to address homelessness in the Greater Prince William Area. Key services funded through this award include transitional and permanent housing, rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, housing counseling, rental assistance, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. Additionally, ACTS operates domestic violence and sexual assault crisis services through sub-awards from the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, providing comprehensive support such as 24-hour hotlines, emergency shelter, legal advocacy, and culturally sensitive services for diverse populations.
