Continuum of Care
Each year, approximately $2 million is granted through the Continuum of Care to Virginia Beach agencies that provide housing and supportive services to people experiencing homelessness.
The Continuum of Care (CoC) grant application process is a consolidated community application coordinated by the BEACH CoC and submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by Housing & Neighborhood Preservation.
The application provides detailed information regarding efforts the CoC has implemented to advance our work to prevent and end homelessness in Virginia Beach.
The completed application package will be submitted to HUD on Sept. 28, 2023.
Notification of Funding Opportunities through the FY2024 HUD Continuum of Care
- Available Bonus Funding for Non-Domestic Violence Projects: $304,092.00
- Available Bonus Funding for Domestic Violence Projects: $380,115.00
Purpose
HUD Continuum of Care funding supports the development and implementation of a localized homeless response system, to ensure homelessness is rare, brief, and non-reoccurring through coordinated community-based activities. Through a housing-focused approach, the goals of this funding are to assist households experiencing homelessness to quickly regain stability in permanent housing. These activities are designed to reduce the overall length of homelessness in the community, the number of households experiencing homelessness, and the overall rate of formerly homeless households returning to homelessness.
Eligible activities for this funding opportunity are as follows:
- Permanent Supportive Housing
- Rapid Rehousing
- Joint Transitional Housing Program (THP)/Rapid Rehousing (RRH) Program
- Dedicated Homeless Management and Information System (HMIS)
Our local community’s priorities for this funding are as follows:
- Permanent Supportive Housing for single adult households
- Rapid Rehousing for the general population
Existing CoC providers can use the funds to expand an existing CoC project.
