New York State receives $2 million for 18 new CoC funded programs
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced the remainder of its 2012 funding awards for new Continuum of Care (CoC) homeless assistance grant programs. In all, HUD awarded New York State $2,021,191 for 18 new programs. This amount includes 10 planning contracts totaling $766,726 to assist communities in the process of developing their Continuum of Care in line with the new requirements of the HEARTH Act, including strategic planning, oversight and monitoring.
The other eight projects, totaling $1,254,465, will go to fund new permanent housing units. While this will yield a few hundred new units of homeless housing, many of these new programs were funded through a reallocation process, at the expense of closing or reducing another program. It is also but a drop in the bucket with an estimated 70,000 homeless people now in New York State.
