This federal Project Grant award of $467,030 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports efforts by the Benton-Franklin Community Action Committee, a nonprofit organization based in Pasco, Washington, to address homelessness in the region.
The funding will allow the Benton-Franklin Community Action Committee to provide a range of CoC Program-eligible services, including permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). These activities are designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize trauma, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency among those experiencing homelessness. While the specific subrecipient activities are not detailed in the award information, the Benton-Franklin Community Action Committee has a history of delivering housing assistance, energy assistance, and other community services to low-income populations in Benton and Franklin Counties.
