Key Takeaways

On January 26, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced $2 billion in renewal funding for local homelessness assistance programs that have previously received grants. The FY 2018 Continuum of Care (CoC) grants will renew support for 5,800 local programs, many of which are county-based, that serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These programs serve both those located in shelter programs and as well as those at immediate risk of becoming homeless.
