HUD Announces FY12 CoC Renewal Awards
On March 13, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
announced $1.5 million in renewal funding through the Continuum of
Care (CoC) Program that will ensure 7,000 local homeless housing
and service programs across the country remain operating in the
coming year. HUD's CoC grants are awarded competitively to local
projects to meet the needs of their homeless clients. The grants
fund a wide variety of programs from street outreach and assessment
to transitional and permanent housing. This year, HUD
challenged local communities to reexamine their response to
homelessness and give greater weight to proven strategies such as
providing rapid re-housing for homeless families and permanent
supportive housing for people who experience chronic
homelessness. Later this year, HUD will award additional grant
funding to support hundreds of other local homeless assistance
programs.
