Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $474,283 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to Milwaukee County's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) - Housing Division. This one-year grant, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025, will support the county's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The grant funding will enable Milwaukee County to provide permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems to quickly rehouse individuals and families experiencing homelessness, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. As a local government entity, Milwaukee County has an extensive track record of securing and administering federal grants from HUD and other agencies to deliver critical housing, transit, and community development services to its residents.
