Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program awarded a $692,163 project grant to the West Central Wisconsin Community Action Agency Inc. (West Cap), a non-profit organization, to provide housing assistance and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the Glenwood City, Wisconsin area. The grant, with a performance period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will enable West Cap to deliver critical services such as case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, job training, and rental assistance to help quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize the trauma of homelessness, promote access to mainstream resources, and optimize self-sufficiency. As a long-standing recipient of CoC Program grants, West Cap has consistently leveraged federal funding to address homelessness and support community development in its seven-county service area.
