Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $173,282 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Hope House of Milwaukee, Incorporated, a non-profit organization. The grant, with a performance period from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025, will support the organization's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the Milwaukee area.

The funds will enable Hope House to provide a range of housing and supportive services, including emergency shelter operations, rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, coordinated assessments, case management, job training, and mental health/substance abuse treatment. These services aim to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and support self-sufficiency. The grant builds on Hope House's track record of securing federal and state grant awards to implement a community-based strategy for addressing homelessness in Milwaukee.
