Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $733,005.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) was provided to the County of Pierce, Washington to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. The funding will support the County's ongoing efforts to address homelessness through eligible activities such as permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a community-wide initiative, the CoC Program aims to promote a coordinated approach to ending homelessness by enhancing access to mainstream programs and optimizing self-sufficiency among those experiencing housing insecurity. This award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025, is part of HUD's broader strategy to increase permanent supportive housing units through construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation.
