Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $183,530.00 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care Program (CFDA# 14.267) to the King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) on January 1, 2024. The grant will fund a range of housing assistance and supportive services to address homelessness in the Seattle, WA metropolitan area and surrounding King County through December 31, 2024.

Key activities supported by the grant include rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and job training. DCHS frequently partners with local nonprofit organizations to deliver these direct services to vulnerable populations. The Continuum of Care Program emphasizes community-wide strategies and coordination among service providers to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources.
