PHILADELPHIA — U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Joe DeFelice announced Tuesday more than $106 million in Fiscal Year 2019 Continuum of Care Program grants to support local homeless programs in Pennsylvania, with nearly $4 million designated for Luzerne County. Nationally, $2.2 billion is being awarded to approximately 6,593 local programs serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
“In Pennsylvania, we are renewing critically needed support to 433 existing programs while funding 26 new projects,” DeFelice said. “This year’s funding includes an additional $5.7 million, so HUD is significantly investing in local communities across the commonwealth to reduce and end homelessness.”
In Luzerne County, 26 programs received a share of $3,987,164 in CoC grants.
HUD’s CoC grants support a broad array of interventions designed to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness, particularly those living in places not meant for habitation, located in sheltering programs, or at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
HUD continues to challenge state and local planning organizations called “Continuums of Care” to support their highest performing local programs that have proven most effective in meeting the needs of persons experiencing homelessness in their communities.
