Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267), awarded a $199,143 project grant to King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) to provide a range of housing and homelessness services in Seattle, WA. The grant, awarded on January 1, 2025 with a completion date of December 31, 2025, supports DCHS's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while promoting their self-sufficiency. The funded activities include permanent supportive housing, rapid re-housing, transitional housing, emergency shelters, and homelessness prevention. DCHS collaborates extensively with local nonprofit partners like the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) to deliver these comprehensive services, primarily focused on assisting vulnerable populations such as chronically homeless adults, individuals with disabilities, and families at risk of homelessness.
