Continuum of care program

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $176,000 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) project grant to the Wisconsin Balance Of State Continuum Of Care, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The grant will provide funding from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025 to support the organization's comprehensive efforts to address homelessness across the state of Wisconsin. Key services to be delivered include rapid rehousing, rental assistance, coordinated entry processes, housing counseling, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and other stability supports. The organization will work with various local partners and sub-recipients to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families, minimize shelter use, and promote self-sufficiency. Recent grant awards have also targeted youth homelessness, funding permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention initiatives.
