The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $327,924 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program grant (CFDA 14.267) to Walkers Point Youth & Family Center Inc., a non-profit organization in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The funding will support Walkers Point's efforts to provide a comprehensive range of housing assistance and supportive services to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Milwaukee area, while minimizing the trauma caused by homelessness. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention. As a sub-recipient, Walkers Point will partner with the City of Milwaukee to expand its services, which include emergency shelter for youth, housing relocation and stabilization, and tenant-based rental assistance. This federal grant award, effective March 11, 2025, is part of HUD's broader strategy to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and providing effective resources for homeless individuals and families.
