Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded a $130,332 Project Grant under the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267) to the Institute For Community Alliances, a non-profit organization based in Des Moines, Iowa. The grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, will fund the organization's efforts to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families in the Des Moines area while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. Eligible activities under the CoC Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention, all with the goal of promoting self-sufficiency and access to mainstream resources for homeless populations. As a prime grantee, the Institute For Community Alliances will likely work with various sub-recipients and partners, such as state agencies and local governments, to deliver these services across the region.
