Continuum of care program

The federal Project Grant award of $5,558,591 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) supports the efforts of the Wisconsin Balance Of State Continuum Of Care, Inc., a non-profit organization, to address homelessness across the state of Wisconsin. The grant, awarded on October 1, 2024 and running through September 30, 2025, enables the organization to provide a comprehensive range of services aimed at preventing and mitigating homelessness, with a focus on rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive interventions for individuals and families experiencing housing insecurity. Key services include permanent housing placement, transitional housing support, coordinated entry processes, housing counseling, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and homeless management information systems (HMIS). The organization works extensively with local partners and sub-recipients to deliver these community-based interventions designed to quickly rehouse homeless individuals, minimize shelter dependence, and promote long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency.
