Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,311,042 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) grant to Community Advocates Inc., a non-profit organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This Project Grant, valid from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, supports the organization's efforts to provide housing assistance, substance abuse prevention/treatment, mental health services, and domestic violence support to vulnerable populations in Milwaukee. Specifically, the funding enables Community Advocates to deliver rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, and rental assistance to homeless individuals and families. The organization also leverages this HUD grant to launch substance use prevention initiatives for African American youth, deliver mental health awareness training, and offer trauma-informed services for victims of crime. As a long-standing recipient of various federal grants, Community Advocates takes a holistic approach to addressing critical social issues and promoting self-sufficiency among low-income Milwaukee residents.
