The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care programs provide permanent and transitional housing to homeless persons. In addition, Continuum of Care grants fund important services including job training, health care, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and child care.

The grants will specifically fund transitional and permanent supportive housing projects in Fargo, Grand Forks, Bismarck and Dickinson. The projects daily provide a stable living environment for more than 200 homeless persons including children.

When someone has been rendered homeless they too often feel that society has turned away from providing a way out and that they don’t count. North Dakota is a place where everyone counts. Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week is an opportunity to learn about homelessness and to help.
