Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $8,778,090.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports a range of housing and supportive services provided by the King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) in Seattle, Washington. The funding enables DCHS to deliver permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, transitional housing, emergency shelters, and homelessness prevention services. Through this award, DCHS collaborates with local non-profit partners to construct and rehabilitate affordable housing units, offer rental assistance, provide case management, and deliver critical supportive services to vulnerable populations, including chronically homeless individuals, families at risk of homelessness, and those with disabilities. The award has an initial term from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, with the goal of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families, minimizing the trauma of homelessness, promoting access to mainstream resources, and optimizing self-sufficiency.
