Description
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) are seeking proposals for the 2025 Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition.

The program includes those fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, in addition to youth and young adults, while minimizing the trauma and upheaval caused by homelessness. The program also supports access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by those experiencing homelessness.

Eligible entities include nonprofit organizations, states, local governments, and instrumentalities of state and local governments.
