November 2010 - Since 2001, a total
of nearly $15,000,000 has been awarded to North Dakota through the CoC.
In 2009, a little over $1.8 million was awarded in Continuum of Care grants to support local programs throughout North Dakota. These funds are expected to provide critically needed assistance to persons and families living without a home of their own.
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 many 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.
