Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Continuum of Care program?

HUD's Continuum of Care (CoC) program is the main federal funding source for homeless services, providing about $3.4 billion annually. CoC funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, and supportive services. Funding flows through local CoC collaborative applicants — usually a coalition of service providers in each community.

Can new organizations get homeless service grants?

Yes, though it can be challenging. New organizations should connect with their local Continuum of Care first. HUD's Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program is often more accessible for newer providers. State and foundation grants may have lower barriers to entry. Partnering with established organizations through sub-awards is another common path for new providers.

Are there grants for homelessness prevention?

Yes. The Emergency Solutions Grant program specifically funds homelessness prevention, including rental assistance and case management. HUD's Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) includes prevention funding. Many community foundations and United Ways fund prevention programs. FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program also supports prevention services.
